World Water Day was also observed in Pakistan on Sunday. A worrying United Nations report has highlighted that 1.8 billion people globally are living without access to clean drinking water, a stark reminder issued as the world marks World Water Day.
The annual event on March 22 aims to draw attention to the growing water scarcity crisis on the planet.
This year, the international observance is being held under the theme, ‘Water and Gender: Where Water Flows, Equality Grows,’ focusing on the critical link between the vital resource and gender equality.
