Through research, it was determined that the theme of China's activities to commemorate "World Water Day" and "China Water Week" in 20 19 was "Persist in giving priority to water conservation and strengthen water resources management".
The purpose of setting up World Water Day
On June 8th, the 47th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 193 according to the recommendations in the Agenda for Action in the 20th century formulated by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, in order to arouse the public's water awareness and establish a more comprehensive sustainable utilization system of water resources and the corresponding operating mechanism. March 22nd every year is designated as World Water Day to promote the comprehensive planning and management of water resources, strengthen water resources protection and solve the increasingly serious water shortage problem. At the same time, through extensive publicity and education activities, enhance public awareness of water resources development and protection.
Water is an indispensable and irreplaceable important natural resource and environmental factor for all life and social and economic development. However, the rapid development of population growth, industrial and agricultural production activities and urbanization in modern society has had a great impact on limited water resources and water environment. On a global scale, water pollution, rapid increase in water demand and unreasonable utilization caused by competitive development among departments have further shortened water resources, worsened water environment, seriously affected social and economic development and threatened human welfare.
According to the report, due to population growth, economic development and changes in consumption patterns, global water demand has increased sixfold in the past 100 years, and this value is still increasing at the rate of 65,438+0% per year. Under the influence of climate change, the global water cycle will continue to intensify, with wetter areas generally becoming wetter and drier areas becoming drier. The United Nations calls on governments to pay attention to "greener" policies and improve the supply and quality of water resources.
