A Kashmiri woman fills a pot with water after collecting it from a river in Pattan, north of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, 22 March 2016. World Water Day is observed on 22 March every year. World Water Day is an international observance and an opportunity to learn more about water related issues, be inspired to tell others and take action to make a difference. World Water Day dates back to the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development where an international observance for water was recommended. The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day. It has been held annually since then. Each year, UN-Water – the entity that coordinates the UN’s work on water and sanitation – sets a theme for World Water Day corresponding to a current or future challenge. The engagement campaign is coordinated by one or several of the UN-Water Members with a related mandate. (Photo by Farooq Khan/EPA)
