World Water Day is marked on 22 March 2010. The official United Nations statement reads The theme of this years World Water Day, Clean Water for a Healthy World, emphasizes that both the quality and the quantity of water resources are at risk. More people die from unsafe water than from all forms of violence, including war. These deaths are an affront to our common humanity, and undermine the efforts of many countries to achieve their development potential. World Water Day has been held to celebrate freshwater annually since 1993.
