Water is a basic requirement for all life, yet water resources are facing increasing demands from, and competition among, users. In 1992, the UN General Assembly designated 22 March of each year as the World Day for Water.
This booklet aims to communicate the purpose and aim of the UN International Decade for Action Water for Life 2005–2015.
World Water Day - 22 March 2005 - marks the start of a new UN International Decade for Action on water. The UN hopes that the Decade will boost the chances of achieving international water-related goals and the United Nations Millennium Declaration.
The United Nations have published a booklet for the International Decade 'Water for Life".
