2. WORLD WATER DAY
WORLD
ENVIRONMENT DAY
• World Water Day, 22
March , is about
what water means to
people, its true value
and how can we
protect this vital
resource of ours.
• This day is an
opportunity to learn
more about water
related issues, be
inspired to tell others
and take action to
make a difference.
• World Environment Day
is observed on June 5
every year.
• The purpose of World
Environment Day is to
spread awareness about
the threat to the
environment due to rising
pollution levels and
climate change.
• The first World
Environment Day was
observed in 1974, giving
a global platform for
inspiring positive change
in the environment.

3. WORLD WATER DAY
• World Water Day, 22 March , is about
what water means to people, its true value
and how we can protect this vital resource
of ours.
• World Water Day, held on 22 March every
year since 1993, focuses on the importance
of freshwater.
• World Water Day celebrates water and
raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people
living without access to safe water.
• It is about taking action to tackle the global
water crisis. A core focus of World Water
Day is to support the achievement of
Sustainable Development Goal 6: water
and sanitation for all by 2030.
• The idea for this international day goes
back to 1992, the year in which the United
Nations Conference on Environment and
Development in Rio de Janeiro took place.
• That same year, the United Nations
General Assembly adopted a resolution by
which 22 March of each year was declared
World Day for Water, to be observed
starting in 1993.
• Later on, other celebrations and events were added.
• For instance, the International Year of Cooperation
in the Water Sphere 2013, and the
current International Decade for Action on Water
for Sustainable Development, 2018-2028.
• These observances serve to reaffirm that water and
sanitation measures are key to poverty reduction,
economic growth, and environmental sustainability.
• Today, water is under extreme threat from a
growing population, increasing demands of
agriculture and industry, and the worsening impacts
of climate change.
“ It is high time
for us to realize
that water being
an important
resource shall not
be wasted, rather
should be used
with care. ”

4. WATER AND ITS IMPORTANCE
!
• Water is an extremely important part of our lives.
• It is used for irrigation, cooking, washing, cleaning, drinking, etc.
• Water is essential for maintaining good health as it helps in
regulating body temperature, carries out normal functioning, aids in
digestion and removes toxins from the body.
• Water is life. Without proper sanitation, the risk of epidemics is not
unfounded.
• Maintaining proper hygiene standards in one’s locality and around
is the key.
• Ensuring safe drinking water is critical as many water-borne
diseases (21% of the disease in India are water-borne) can affect the
inhabitants, especially the young ones
• Approximately 80% of India’s surface water is polluted;
the Central Pollution Control Board has estimated that domestic
sewerage contributes to 75% of water pollution by volume.
• Besides, in recent years, the untreated sewage that flows into
water bodies including rivers has also doubled.
• Groundwater depletion and extreme pollution have added to the
social and economic crisis.
• Over the past few years, there has been a growing need for India’s
water requirements.
• One billion people in India live in areas of physical water scarcity,
of which 600 million are in areas of high to extreme water stress.
• Children of 100 million families do not have water at home.
• Lack of water,
sanitation, and
hygiene accounts for
the loss of 40 lakh
lives annually in
India.

5. • This day was first formally proposed in Agenda 21 of the
1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development in Rio de Janeiro.
• In December 1992, the United Nations General Assembly adopted
resolution A/RES/47/193 by which 22 March of each year was
declared World Day for Water.
• In 1993, the first World Water Day was observed.
TIMELINE OF EVENTS :
1994 -2000
2001 -
2010
2010 -
2020
These years the topics were more about
Water as a resource and more about it
and the explored reasons with respective
questions and solutions.
The topics for this period was more about
WATER AND FUTURE? Is it enough and
its scarcity that might damage the human
life. THE NEED OF WATER TO
SURVIVE FOR HUMANS…
Topics during this time were more about
Clean water, the adaptability and security
of water, Water and Energy, Water
wastage and value of water.
• On 22 March, 2021, World Water Day was celebrated as an
online event.
• The World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness of
the global water crisis, and a core focus of the observance is to
support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal
(SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
• The theme of World Water Day 2021 was valuing water.
• The value of water is about much more than its price – water
has enormous and complex value for our households, food,
culture, health, education, economics and the integrity of our
natural environment.
• If we overlook any of these values, we risk mismanaging this
finite, irreplaceable resource. SDG 6 is to ensure water and
sanitation for all.
• Without a comprehensive understanding of water’s true,
multidimensional value, we will be unable to safeguard this
critical resource for the benefit of everyone.
• 75% of the planet is
water.
• 2.1 Million people live
without drinking water
in their homes.
• One in four elementary
schools lack the access of
drinking water.
• Around two thirds of the
world’s population suffers
from water shortage.

6. WHY : VALUING WATER – 2021 -
• Today, 1.8 billion people use a source of drinking
water contaminated with faeces, putting them at risk of
contracting cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.
• The Sustainable Development Goals, launched in
2015, include a target to ensure everyone has access to
safe water by 2030, making water a key issue in the
fight to eradicate extreme poverty.
• World Water Day - Theme for 2021 - Valuing Water
• The theme of World Water Day 2021 is "Valuing
water".
• Economic development and a growing global
population means agriculture and industry are getting
thirstier and water-intensive energy generation is
rising to meet demand.
• Climate change is making water more erratic and
contributing to pollution.
• As societies balance the demands on water resources,
many people’s interests are not being taken into
account.
• How we value water determines how water is
managed and shared.
• Water Facts
• 2.1 billion people live without safe water at home.
• One in four primary schools have no drinking water service,
with pupils using unprotected sources or going thirsty.
• More than 700 children under five years of age die every day
from diarrhea linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation.
• Globally, 80% of the people who have to use unsafe and
unprotected water sources live in rural areas
• Women and girls are responsible for water collection in eight
out of ten households with water off-premises.
• Over 800 women die every day from complications in
pregnancy and childbirth.
• For the 68.5 million people who have been forced to flee their
homes, accessing safe water services is highly problematic.
• Around 159 million people collect their drinking water from
surface water, such as ponds and streams.
• Around 4 billion people - nearly two-thirds of the world’s
population - experience severe water scarcity during at least
one month of the year.
• 700 million people worldwide could be displaced by intense
water scarcity by 2030.
• The wealthier generally receive high levels of WASH services
at (often very) low cost, whereas the poor pay a much higher
price for a service of similar or lesser quality.

7. WATER SAVING TECHNOLOGY -
1. Water Sense Labeled Irrigation Controllers
• Water Sense labels weather-based irrigation controllers, a type
of "smart" irrigation control technology that uses local weather
data to determine when and how much to water.
• Water Sense labeled irrigation controllers can save you water,
time, and money when compared to standard models.
2. Soil Moisture Sensors
• Soil moisture–based control technologies water plants based on
their needs by measuring the amount of moisture in the soil and
tailoring the irrigation schedule accordingly. Water Sense has
issued a Notice of Intent to label soil moisture–based control
technologies.
3. Rainfall Shutoff Devices
• Rainfall shutoff devices turn off your system in rainy weather
and help compensate for natural rainfall.
• This inexpensive device can be retrofitted to almost any
system.
4. Rain sensors
• Rain sensors can help decrease water wasted in the landscape
by turning off the irrigation system when it is raining.
5. Sprinkler Heads
• Certain types of sprinkler heads apply water more efficiently
than others.
• Rotary spray heads deliver water in a thicker stream than mist
spray heads, ensuring more water reaches plants and less is lost
to evaporation and wind.
• Water Sense has issued a Notice of Intent to label landscape
irrigation sprinklers.

If we overlook any of these
values, we risk mismanaging this
finite, irreplaceable resource. ”

10. WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY :
• In 1972, the UN General Assembly
designated 5 June as World Environment
Day (WED).
• The first celebration, under the
slogan “Only One Earth” took place
in 1974.
• In the following years, WED has
developed as a platform to raise
awareness on the problems facing our
environment such as air pollution, plastic
pollution, illegal wildlife trade,
sustainable consumption, sea-level
increase, and food security, among others.
• Furthermore, WED helps drive change in
consumption patterns and in national and
international environmental policy.
• Even though WED celebrations have been
held annually since 1974, in 1987 the idea
for rotating the center of these activities
through selecting different host countries
began.
• This day is celebrated to encourage
awareness and environmental protection.
According to United Nations,
"The celebration of this day provides us with an
opportunity to broaden the basis for an
enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by
individuals, enterprises, and communities in
preserving and enhancing the environment."
• World Environment Day is one of the
biggest days of recognition for encouraging
people worldwide to save and protect our
environment from different environmental
challenges the world is facing today.
• The World Environment is also “People’s
Day” which is a day to do something to take
care of our environment.
• It is an important platform for promoting the
dimensions of environmental Sustainable
Development Goals.

11. WED FORMATION REASON – DUE TO TYPES OF
POLLUTION
Air Pollution Water Pollution Land Pollution
ENVIRONMEN
T POLLUTION
Air pollution is the
presence of
substances in the
atmosphere that are
harmful to the health
of humans and other
living beings, or
cause damage to the
climate or to
materials. There are
many different types
of air pollutants,
such as gases,
particulates, and
biological molecules
Water pollution is
the contamination of
water bodies,
usually as a result of
human activities, in
such a manner that
negatively affects its
legitimate uses.
Water pollution
reduces the ability
of the body of water
to provide the
ecosystem services
that it would
otherwise provide.
Land pollution,
the deposition of solid or
liquid waste materials on
land or underground in a
manner that can contaminate
the soil and groundwater,
threaten public health, and
cause unsightly conditions
and nuisances.
The waste materials that
cause land pollution are
broadly classified
as municipal solid
waste (MSW, also called
municipal
refuse), construction and
demolition (C&D) waste or
debris, and hazardous waste.
A compilation of
AIR, LAND, AND
WATER CAUSES
ENVIRONMENT
POLLUTION which
is a serious situation
to be responsible for
and to be looked
into.

raising awareness, supporting action, and driving changes for
the environment.
Every World Environment Day is hosted by a different
country, in which official celebrations take place, and this
year’s host was Pakistan.
WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY ANTHEM –
An Earth Anthem penned by poet Abhay K is sung to celebrate World
Environment Day.
Our cosmic oasis, cosmic blue pearl
the most beautiful planet in the universe
all the continents and all the oceans
united we stand as flora and fauna
united we stand as species of one earth
different cultures, beliefs and ways
we are humans, the earth is our home
all the people and the nations of the world
all for one and one for all
united we unfurl the blue marble flag.
• The Government of Pakistan plans to expand and restore the
country’s forests through a ‘10 Billion Tree Tsunami‘ spread over
five years.
• The campaign includes restoring mangroves and forests, as well
as planting trees in urban settings, including schools, colleges,
public parks and green belts.
• Through the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami, Pakistan is contributing to
the Bonn Challenge, a global effort linked to the UN Decade on
Ecosystem Restoration.
• Under the challenge, countries are pledging to bring 350 million
hectares of the world’s deforested and degraded land into
restoration by 2030.

14. ARENAS OF MAJOR CONCERNS
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
DANGER
1. Industrial Waste
2. Commercial Waste
3. Hotel-Management
Waste
4. Construction Waste
5. Household / Daily
Waste
6. Biodiversity Loss
CHANGE
1. The above points are major reasons that are
harming the environment, its necessary to
control and put a stop on such dangerous
processes.
2. Waste management consists of a series of steps
such as collection of the waste, segregating it on
the basis of its nature, transporting carefully and
labelling them, undergoing various types of
treatment in order to reduce the its hazardous
effect.
3. These steps prevent the spread of pollution,
reduces the hazardous effects and keeps the
environment clean. So, the environment became
a good habitat for all living creatures.
Waste Collection Segregation
Transport Treatment Disposal
• In modern days, waste management has become
more technical and innovative.
• To find out the best and effective method of
waste management and to enhance the
environmental protection this study is done.
• Along, the other option as humans we can opt for
is reducing the produce of waste.
REDUCE – REUSE - RECYCLE
• REDUCE: The best way to manage
waste is to not produce it.
• REUSE: It makes economic and
environmental sense to reuse products.
• RECYCLE: Recycling is a series of steps
that takes a used material and processes,
remanufactures, and sells it as a new
product.
• The three R's – reduce, reuse and recycle
– all help to cut down on the amount of
waste we throw away.
• They conserve natural resources, landfill
space and energy.
• Plus, the three R's save land and money
communities must use to dispose of
waste in landfills.

15. THINGS TO CONTRIBUTE – SPREAD AWARENESS
• A small hand can make a huge impact – the minute
contributions done every second can help us all to save the
environment from trash, pollution, etc.
• The major impact is the usage of plastic, highly polluted and
unhygienic after a period of time. Avoiding its usage could
save our environment.
• Drive less, Ride more ( Public
Transport )
• RRR – Reduce / Reuse /
Recycle
• Shop Wisely
• Plant a Tree
• Limitation of flow of Chemicals
into the Environment.
• Conserve Water
• Choose Sustainable ways of
living to conserve energy.
• Educate others to save earth.

16. “World Environment Day is a
reminder for us to pause and reflect
on our actions and their subsequent
consequences on the planet.
We are living in a world where
averting our eyes from the climate
crisis is not an option. We need the
world to come together.
Ecosystem restoration means
undoing the damages caused to the
environment by humans to save
Earth.
