WORLD WATER DAY 2022 GROUNDWATER - MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE

 World Water Day

-Beatrice

Today we celebrate the World Water Day, an observance day established by the UN in 1992. 

In India, less than 50% of the population has access to safe and drinkable water. The causes of water contamination can be attributed to the presence of substances such as fluoride and arsenic, elements present in 1.96 million homes. Also, two thirds of India suffers from severe water exhaustion.

The Convention on the Rights of a Child is a document approved by the UN in 1989 that states that every child has the right to have safe water. Even UNICEF is working in this direction with the WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) program, to ensure every child this basic, but not taken for granted, right.

Safe water is a basic right for everyone, especially for girls and women that reside in disadvantaged communities. The lack of clean water in villages, slums areas and unauthorized communities is a problem that should be urgently addressed. 

Even today, not having reliable water is a problem that most afflicts women and child, because they are the ones who have to get water for the entire family. 

About 54% of Indian women and girls that live in marginalized areas take about 35 minutes of their time everyday just to get water. So, they lose up to 27 days of their year only for this activity. 

Without a proper sanitation and hygiene facilities where they need, it becomes more and more complicated for women to simply access water. 

A fair access to safe water should no longer be a problem, for anyone in the world.
