2021 theme, "Valuing Water"
World Water Day is observed annually across the globe on March 22 with the purpose of highlighting the importance of water and raising awareness about the water crisis that the world faces.
According to the United Nations (UN) website, the main focus of the day is to “support the achievement of sustainable development goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.”
By the way the 2021 theme is, "Valuing Water". What to be done to save water catchments?
1. Conserve water every day. Take shorter showers, fix leaks & turn off the water when not in use.
2. Don’t pour toxic household chemicals down the drain; take them to a hazardous waste center.
3. Use hardy plants that require little or no watering, fertilizers or pesticides in your yard.
4. Do not over apply fertilizers. Consider using organic or slow release fertilizers instead.
5. Recycle yard waste in a compost pile & use a mulching mower.
6. Use surfaces like wood, brick or gravel for decks & walkways, which allows rain to soak in and not run off.
7. Never pour used oil or antifreeze into the storm drain or the street.
8. Pick up after your dog, and dispose of the waste in the toilet or the trash.
9. Drive less—walk or bike more, (The Nature Conservancy).
