Since 1992, World Water Day has been celebrated worldwide. This initiative arises from the hand of the United Nations Organization with the idea of raising people’s awareness of the correct use of this very important natural resource. In Panama, we are aware of the relevance that this element has, for example, in the operation of the Canal.
It is a date on which we remember that every drop counts, that we must make rational use of it, that there are many people who lack or have serious difficulties in accessing water and that, Small actions can make a big difference.
Small daily actions
We can all take small actions at home, with our loved ones and friends, or in the office with our co-workers to achieve the necessary savings, such as: turning off the tap while we are not using it, avoid using the sink as a trash can, check for leaks in our appliances, etc.
