About the countdown to World Water Day
The observance dates back to 1993, when the United Nations designated March 22 to focus attention on the global water crisis.
Each year the day highlights a specific water theme, from sanitation to groundwater, coordinated by the United Nations.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next World Water Day falls in ISO week 12 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
