Currently there are around 663 million people in the world who are forced to live without safe, easy access to clean water, but the Sustainable Development Goals, launched in 2015, include a target to ensure everyone has access to safe water by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year the organisers focus on a specific theme in order to highlight areas of the water industry that may need dramatic improvements, in order to achieve this goal. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last years theme was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/world-water-day\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">water and jobs<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwaterday.org\/theme\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">theme<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of this year\u2019s World Water Day is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waste water<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UrJhsH0Sz_o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waste Water<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main focus of World Water Day this year is wastewater, and the campaign \u2018Why waste water?\u2019 is all about reducing and reusing wastewater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though there is a large disparity in the world over huge numbers of people being left without access to clean water, over 80% of the wastewater generated by society flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused globally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This huge percentage of untreated wastewater not only leads to damage to the environment, but also means that we are missing an opportunity to gain a huge resource by treating water. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The future of wastewater misuse<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As industrial urbanisation continues, it becomes more and more important to implement sustainable processes for wastewater collection and management. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Aquaread, water monitoring is at the core of what we do, and we know that there are huge ramifications that can come from ignoring or failing to observe water quality. By letting large portions of water go untreated we are not only missing a valuable opportunity for recycling, which can have great societal benefits, but we are also opening the door for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/agricultural-chemicals-affecting-our-water-craig-harrison?trk=mp-reader-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">costly environmental damage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though struggling to find access to clean water, and the thought of not having clean water available on demand, may sound like an international problem, it is something which is likely to\/and already is having a detrimental effect here in urban areas of the UK as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year we <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/risk-drought-uk-growing-craig-harrison?trk=mp-reader-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">released an article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on new data which predicted that in as little as 25 years, London could see massive droughts in the city. Wherever you look there are signs that point to the necessity of better wastewater management, both at home and abroad, and World Water Day is a great way of helping to raise awareness and support for this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However you choose to spend your World Water Day, we hope you will help us to spread awareness for this important cause. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday 22nd March, Aquaread will be joining many other charities, organisations, businesses and individuals in celebrating World Water Day &#8211;
