World Water Day 2020 was March 22, and hundreds of individuals, companies and corporate accounts posted about the planet’s most precious resource with the hashtag #WorldWaterDay. With the outbreak of Coronavirus — aka COVID-19 — water’s value has never been more important. Without it, human health and hygiene would suffer greatly — water is necessary not only to wash hands, but also in the production of soaps and hand sanitizers — and proper hygiene is the first method for preventing the spread of the virus.
But World Water Day is also a day to remember how not everyone has access to clean, affordable and safe water. Even in developed countries, many people still do not have affordable clean access to water. So join us as we reflect on water’s importance and tweet @WWDmag with your favorite World Water Day posts.
