World Water Day

To celebrate World Water Day, the Council joins stakeholders worldwide to call upon all governments to focus on water issues and prioritize water resources and management projects that make safe water available to all on the planet. 

This year’s focus of World Water Day is the impact of wastewater. Approximately 80% of the world’s wastewater flows untreated into the environment while the costs of wastewater management are greatly outweighed by the benefits to human health, economic development and environmental sustainability – providing new business opportunities and creating more ‘green’ jobs.
