Abstract
The document encourages African member states to celebrate World Day for Water (WDW) on March 22, 1996. It highlights the importance of water as a precious and finite resource, emphasizing the need for better maintenance, management, and conservation to prevent wastage, depletion, and pollution. The theme for 1996, "Water for Thirsty Cities," underscores the growing water supply problems in many African cities. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) urges member states to raise public awareness about water conservation and rational use, with the UN Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS) coordinating global activities for the day.
