World Water Day celebrated
Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself,” said V Subba Rao, Bapatla Mandal Development Officer.
Guntur: “Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself,” said V Subba Rao, Bapatla Mandal Development Officer.
World Water Day was celebrated under the aegis of Forum For Better Bapatla on Thursday. The United Nations Water Development Reports were released on the occasion.
One billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services and 4.5 billion people lack safely managed sanitation services. About 340,000 children under five had been dying every year from diarrhea. Water scarcity already affected four out of every 10 people, he added.
The forum secretary PC Sai Babu said, “Water is also a rights issue. As the global population grows, there is an increasing need to balance all of the competing commercial demands on water resources so that communities have enough for their needs.
In particular, women and girls must have access to clean, private sanitation facilities to manage menstruation and maternity in dignity and safety.” Others also spoke.
