Every 22 March, World Water Day is noticed to raise awareness of water's value.

One in ten individuals in the Philippines still lacks clean drinking water. The
current water crisis in Metro Manila emphasizes how difficult it may be to access
water, even in the nation's capital. Due to a lack of supply, low or negative water
pressure in pipes might create impurities that will jeopardize the quality of the
water once the pool is restored. People must preserve more water because of
the limited availability. If managed improperly, this will provide mosquitoes more
chances to spawn, which would raise the incidence of diseases spread by
mosquitoes. (Water shortage in the Philippines threatens sustainable
