World Water Day on March 22nd was introduced by the United Nations 20 years ago in order to raise awareness of the importance of freshwater and to promote the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

The Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG) and its member organisations celebrate World Water Day 2013 by asking for the support of the European Citizens Initiative (ECI) "Water is a human right". The initiative advocates for public management of our water supply and opposes the application of the European "internal market rules" to water services.
