The correct answer is: C. 22 March
World Water Day is an annual observance held on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1992 and first celebrated in 1993.
The theme for World Water Day 2023 is “Groundwater: Making the Invisible Visible”. Groundwater is a vital resource that sustains life on Earth. It is used for drinking, irrigation, industry, and ecosystems. However, groundwater is often taken for granted and its importance is not fully understood. World Water Day 2023 will raise awareness of the importance of groundwater and the need to manage it sustainably.
