World Water Day (WWD) is celebrated every year on March 22nd. Starting in 1993, WWD celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2 billion people living without access to safe water.

It is about taking action to tackle our global water crisis. Each year focuses on a different theme, and this year is Groundwater: Making the Invisible Visible.

While almost all of the liquid freshwater in the world is groundwater, it’s especially important to communities that rely on well water drawn from beneath the surface. That’s where you come in. We need your help to raise awareness about the global water crisis and the simple ways each one of us can help to address it.

World Water Day 2022 with Borehole Experts Zimbabwe:

World Water Day (WWD) is celebrated worldwide on March 22 of every year to remind the world of the importance of fresh water to mankind and to advocate the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

Its celebration 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, the UN-Water, the entity that coordinates the UN's work on water and sanitation, sets a theme for World Water Day. The theme usually highlights a specific aspect of freshwater or corresponds to a current or future challenge. This year's theme is "Water and Wastewater".

Why wastewater? The discharge of wastewater into the environment poses a serious threat. Wastewater when discharged to freshwater bodies and marine waters without being treated can cause water pollution which in turn is harmful to aquatic life. When discharged on lands, it can leach into underground water tables and potentially contaminate aquifers and underground water.

Wastewater for irrigation may contain unsuitable chemicals and higher concentrations of nutrients needed for crops. This can result in delayed and under yielding. Moreover, wastewater used for animal farming may also contain harmful things and chemicals dissolved in them, and there is a chance that humans that eat such animals may be harmed too.

Wastewater is also a big health issue, as it carries and transports a myriad of diseases and illnesses. According to the World Health Organization, about 2.2 million people die each year (globally) from diarrhoea) disease, mostly children in developing countries.

All ecosystems are connected and they all ultimately depend on water. Similarly, all water (surface and underground) is connected. This means careless wastewater discharge can have some serious ripple effect. If one part of the ecosystem chain is destroyed, it can upset its entire food chain.

However, if harnessed properly wastewater is a huge resource that can bring a lot of health and economic benefits, increase food production, reduce poverty, enhance fishing, tourism, rural and urban livelihoods.

Stormwater, urban runoff and effluent from animal farms can be captured for irrigation and other farming needs. This kind of wastewater is usually high in nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, micronutrient and organic matter) and farmers love it. In doing so, farmers were able to save on fertilizer costs and also pre-serve surface and underground water that they would have otherwise used.

Wastewater can also be used to generate energy. Sludge collected from a treatment plant can be biodegraded in a controlled environment and then combust-ed (burnt at high temperatures) to release Methane (a gas similar to natural gas). This can be used in boilers at homes and in buildings, as well as for cooking and heating purposes. The sludge from treatment plants can also be combusted to produce electricity. Reclaimed waste-water can also provide water for irrigation and industrial purposes.

Thus, freeing up freshwater that can be used somewhere else, such as for drinking water. At the household level, water use in the kitchen can be collected and used to water flowers and lawns. Fami-lies can also reduce the amount of wastewater they produce by smart use of bathrooms.

Saving a few litres of water a day means a significant saving on the water by the end of the year!
