Remember the Surprising Water Usage Numbers infographic I posted last month? Well that's just one of my own little ways of helping to raise awareness of the importance of water on humankind. Now today is a very special day especially for the environmentalists, nature lovers and earth/Mother Nature friendly persons because today, is the UN World Water Day 2013! It's not a holiday but it is observed every 22nd of March for each year. 

So what's in it and how can I take part?

People from different parts of the world have their own way of celebrating World Water Day. There are educational events, symposia, excursions, sports competitions, even theatrical and musical celebrations. You can take part by helping in the campaign in your own way - posting the official banners on your site/ social media account, implementing water conservation in your own household or like me, just blogging about it.

With the alarming increase of water crisis, let's not practice conserving water just on this day, but each and every day! :)

The current statistics of water crisis seems unrealistic knowing that our planet is 70% water. So let's make it clear: we are running out of FRESH WATER. With the growing population, the supply of water cannot and will not be able to satisfy the increasing demand of humankind in less than 10 years from now, not unless, we learn how to SAVE. To get a better picture and understanding of what I'm trying to convey, this infographic shows our daily water consumption and what are the alternative ways in which we can lessen water usage.
