3月22日是世界水日。人們有機會思考自然資源往往被視為理所當然，有近11億人無法獲得清潔，安全的飲用水。這大概是這個星球上每五個人中就有一個人。世界的水需要保護。世界水日在國際上已有20多年的歷史。它在1993年首次被觀察到。每年，全球各地發生的事件都引起人們對水危機的關注，並提高對世界水災的認識。居住在美國和其他富裕國家的人們可能並不了解世界水危機。容易獲得飲用水看起來像可以呼吸空氣一樣可靠。但世界各國，尤其是撒哈拉以南非洲和南亞國家正在面臨水危機。 2004年，全球有220萬人死於不安全飲用水。其中，接近90％是5歲以下的兒童。兒童尤其受到世界水危機的影響。缺乏清潔，安全的飲用水是造成每天有近4,500名兒童死亡的原因。儘管水危機是我們世界上最大的挑戰之一，但仍有希望。你可以盡全力幫助，不僅僅在世界水日，而是每天。以各種方式節約用水！
