Today, March 22nd, is World Water Day. This year's theme...Water for Peace. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eM7a_tDd. 🚰 Many in our world (2.2 billion) live without safely managed drinking water. (WHO/UNICEF, 2023) 🚰 Only 0.5% of the water on Earth is useable and available as freshwater. (WMO (2021) 🚰 Most of the freshwater used, about 72% on average is used for agriculture. (UN-Water, 2023)

World Water Day is observed on 22 March every year. This day is dedicated to highlighting the necessity of WATER and the need to conserve it. It also serves as a reminder that water is a natural resource that is irreplaceable in our daily lives. The significance of celebrating World Water Day can be understood by the fact that most of the water that we use for everyday activities comes from GROUNDWATER. Natural resources play a critical role in ensuring a stable and healthy lifestyle. Additionally, freshwater ensures good health and helps maintain a healthy weight. With the rising population, the demand for groundwater is rising, while the availability of water is decreasing. This highlights the necessity of working together to preserve groundwater and ensure that we do not run out of this one of the most important natural resources. This year, as World Water Day on 22 March focuses on the theme, 'WATER FOR PEACE,' we are compelled to reflect on the complex relationship between water, conflict, and cooperation. Water has the power to create peace or spark conflict. SAVE WATER - SAVE LIFE.

World Water Day is celebrated every year to spread awareness about the importance of water. The theme of World Water Day 2024 is ‘Water for Peace’. When we cooperate on water, we create a positive ripple effect – fostering harmony, generating prosperity and building resilience to shared challenges. We must act upon the realisation that water is not only a resource to be used and competed over – it is a human right, intrinsic to every aspect of life.

On my way back home from the 10th World Water Forum. Looking back and looking ahead. So much to be done! Watershed resilience has been at the center of our work for decades and still we are learning, improving and innovating every day. This is why events such as the world water forum are meaningful. To share ideas and best practices, to raise new issues on the international agenda for water. Looking forward. At Antea Group Belgium we keep working on climate & water in Belgium and beyond, studying climate induced hazards, vulnerability and risk, and building watershed resilience. Capacity building and creating awareness on climate risks and healthy watersheds is not only part of our work, it is part of our DNA, our purpose, and our Corporate Social Responsibility. This is why we are putting our shoulders behind the organisation of the Scheldt Walk 2025 together with Li An Phoa, Drinkable Rivers and a growing network of other partners in France, Belgium and The Netherlands. Follow us for more news about the Drinkable Scheldt - Drinkbare Schelde - l'Escaut à Boire. And join our steadily growing alliance... What is your dream for the Scheldt and it's basin?

🌍💧 On this World Water Day, we embrace the powerful theme of "Water for Peace," a reminder that water is not just a resource but a catalyst for cooperation, harmony, and sustainability. As we navigate through 10 days of Flanders Technology & Innovation on different locations, we're inspired to reflect on how technology and innovation can serve as bridges in the stewardship of our most precious resource: water. At Delaware, we're proud to lead the way in fostering collaboration with our ecosystem of customers and partners through a series of captain tables and hackathons aimed at unlocking innovative solutions. These initiatives are more than just events; they are a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a shared vision for a sustainable and peaceful future, really impacting also water conservation and management with solutions like #hydroware. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and embracing the collective genius of our community, we're not only addressing the urgent challenges of water scarcity and quality but also contributing to peacebuilding efforts worldwide. It's a reminder that every drop counts and every idea brings us closer to a world where water stands as a pillar of peace and prosperity. Let's continue to push the boundaries of what's possible and make every drop matter. Join us in celebrating the spirit of innovation and collaboration this World Water Day. Together, we can pave the way towards a future where water for peace is not just a theme, but a reality. 💡🌏 #WorldWaterDay #WaterForPeace #Innovation #Collaboration #FTI #Hydroware #Fluidcrew #Hackathon #Sustainability #TechnologyForGood

March 22 is World Water Day! Every year on March 22, World Water Day is celebrated, and the chosen theme for 2024 is "Water for Peace". The motivation is that over time there have been many cases of cooperation, but also quite a few conflicts related to water and access to this vital resource. At local and national levels, different users must cooperate through an integrated water resource system, address and promote human rights-fulfilling circular economy and management. Transboundary waters are also essential for peace and prosperity, and governments should cooperate bilaterally, regionally or globally, for example by signing up and implementing the United Nations Water Convention and the Watercourses Convention. We must all unite around water and use it responsibly, laying the foundations for a more stable, sustainable and prosperous tomorrow!

World Water Day is a vibrant celebration that not only recognizes the vital role of water but also highlights its incredible power to foster peace and cooperation globally. This year's theme, "Water for Peace," shines a spotlight on the transformative impact water can have, in bridging gaps and building bridges between communities and nations. Imagine a world where access to clean water is not just a necessity, but a catalyst for harmony and stability. In Aquawise Solutions, by promoting sustainable water management practices, we not only address the basic human need but also lay the groundwork for peaceful coexistence. World Water Day serves as a rallying cry for innovation and collaboration, reminding us of the boundless potential of water to create a brighter, more interconnected future. Together, we can turn the tide towards a world where water flows freely as a symbol of unity and prosperity for all.
