World Water Day 2026
March 22 is World Water Day Access to safe and reliable drinking water and wastewater services is a fundamental human right, recognized under international law. These services are essential for maintaining health, dignity and overall well-being, and are the cornerstones of thriving, healthy communities. However, many Indigenous communities face persistent and unacceptable barriers to accessing clean drinking water and adequate wastewater services. This disparity represents a clear violation of human rights and contributes to significant health and social inequities.
