is a complete essential of human life, and every form depends on it. But water
is a universal solvent, gathering all the elements of its environment, and
carrying it directly into our homes and bodies. So it’s important to preserve
and monitor water for the future.

WORLD
WATER MONITORING DAY HISTORY
World Water Monitoring Day was
first celebrated on September 18, 2003. At first it was chosen to be a month
later (October 18) to recognize the anniversary of the US Clean Water Act,
which was enacted by the US Congress in 1972 to renovate and protect the
country’s water resources. In 2007, the date was changed to assist
participation in parts of the world where temperatures reach freezing at that
time.
