When is World Water Day?

In order to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources in the world, according to the principle of water resources protection, development and management in chapter 18 of the UN 2108 agenda, 193 was adopted by the UN 18 General Assembly on108. The resolution invites governments to carry out some specific publicity activities on this day according to their national conditions in order to raise public awareness. Starting from 1996, the themes of World Water Day and China Water Week are:

The Ministry of Construction of China also decided to take the second week of June every year as the national publicity week for urban water conservation, aiming at conscientiously implementing the Water Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Regulations on Urban Water Conservation of the State Council, and improving people's planning and water-saving concepts.

Speaking of it, the earth's water reserves are very rich, totaling 65.438+0.45 billion cubic kilometers. However, seawater accounts for 97.2%, land fresh water only accounts for 2.8%, and fresh water such as rivers, freshwater lakes and shallow groundwater, which are closest to human life, only accounts for 0.34% of fresh water reserves. What is even more worrying is that this extremely limited fresh water is being polluted more and more. According to scientific estimates, more than half of the countries and regions in the world lack drinking water, especially in the economically underdeveloped third world countries. At present, 70% of people, that is, 654.38+0.7 billion people, do not have access to clean water, and nearly 80% of the world's population is threatened by water shortage. China's per capita fresh water quantity is a quarter of the world's per capita level, and it belongs to a water-deficient country. More than 300 cities in China are short of water, and 29% people are drinking bad water, among which 70 million people are drinking high fluorine water. Every year, the economic losses caused by water shortage reach more than 654.38+0 billion yuan, and the economic losses caused by water pollution reach more than 40 billion yuan.

The above data fully shows that the shortage of water resources has become a major problem facing the world today. Not long ago, the United Nations Conference on Human Environment and World Water Resources issued a warning: After the oil crisis, the next crisis for mankind is water. Therefore, it is an urgent task for governments all over the world to protect and utilize water resources more effectively and reasonably. From the environmental point of view, the most perfect measures are water interception and water transfer. Change the temporal and spatial distribution of water resources and make full use of water resources. At the same time, it pays attention to saving water and improving the utilization rate of water resources: in industry, it advocates water-saving industry, controls pollutant discharge and strengthens wastewater treatment; Advanced irrigation methods (sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation) should be adopted in agriculture. Water is the foundation of life, which not only relates to the quality of human life, but also affects human survival ability. We must enhance the awareness of water crisis, cherish water, save water and protect water resources.

2。 "Water Law Publicity Week" and "National Urban Water Saving Publicity Week"

"Water Law Publicity Week", March 22-28.

The development and utilization of water resources and the prevention and control of water disasters are related to the national pulse and the people's movement, and water must be controlled, managed and used according to law. From 65438 to 0988, the People's Republic of China (PRC) Water Law was promulgated, which marked that the development and utilization of water resources and the prevention and control of water disasters in China were on the legal track. At present, in addition to the Water Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Soil and Water Conservation Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Water Pollution Prevention Law, Measures for the Implementation of Water Permit System, Regulations on River Management and other laws and regulations, a large number of local laws and regulations have been promulgated, and a relatively scientific and complete water law system with China characteristics has been established for the first time in the history of China.

In order to overcome the phenomenon of non-compliance with laws and lax enforcement, enhance the people's awareness of water law and legal concept, and consciously use legal means to regulate various water activities, the Ministry of Water Resources of China starts from 1989 and takes July 1 day to July 7 every year as "Water Law Publicity Week". Since the birth of 1993 World Water Day, the Ministry of Water Resources has decided to take March 22nd to March 28th as "Water Law Publicity Week" every year.

"National Urban Water Saving Publicity Week", the week of May 15.

In order to improve urban residents' awareness of water conservation, the week of May 15 is the "National Urban Water Conservation Publicity Week" starting from 1992. Through this activity, it will help improve the society's understanding of the important practical significance and long-term strategic significance of water-saving work; It is conducive to increasing investment in the development, popularization and application of new water-saving technologies, technologies and instruments; It is helpful to improve the comprehensive utilization level of urban water.
