World Water Day is celebrated every year on March 22. The idea behind observing this day is focusing on the importance of water and need to conserve it. The World Water Day theme 2019 is "Leaving no one behind". It looks at why people have been left behind and how access to water and sanitation and sustainable water management can be drivers of change. World Water Day was first observed in 1993 by United Nations General Assembly. This year is 26th World Water Day. With a looming drinking water shortage in the world, here are some tips you can adopt to make changes in your daily life.

1. Start with making small changes in your daily life. After washing the vegetables, use the same water to water your plants and gardens.
2. The water drained from RO filters at home can be used for mopping the floor.
