This Saturday, March 22^nd, is World Water Day!  This international awareness day focuses on the importance of managing our freshwater resources.  Each year, World Water Day highlights a different aspect of freshwater.  In 2014, the UN is focusing on “Water and Energy.”

Here are a few of the key messages the UN is stressing for World Water Day:

• Water and Energy – They are closely related.  Water is needed to produce energy and energy is required to produce water.  Think about how your shower or faucet gets cold or hot water!
• Supply and Demand – The demand for water and energy is increasing.  More and more regions are in need of clean water and adequate sanitation.  Worldwide, 768 million people lack access to improved water sources and 2.5 billion people have no improved sanitation.
• Efficient Policies – National policies can create more efficient and cost-effective water and energy services.  By understanding the relationship between these two sectors, you can improve coordination and planning.

The UN aims to bring attention to people in impoverished areas that lack safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, and sufficient food and energy services.  Learn more about World Water Day 2014 on the UN’s official website. 

Remember that you can make an impact in your own home by fixing leaks and making your plumbing, heating, and cooling more efficient!  Call 865-583-3957 to contact our office for same day service, repair, and installation!
