World Water Day is celebrated annually on March 22 since 1993. It highlights the importance of freshwater, raises awareness about the 2.2 billion people who lack access to safe water, and encourages action to address the global water crisis. 

Every year, UN-Water sets the theme for World Water Day. In 2025, the theme is glacier preservation.
