World Water Day (March 22nd) is an international day of observance and action to draw attention to the plight of the more than 1 billion people world wide that lack access to clean, safe drinking water. Celebrated since 1993, World Water Day was designated in 1992 when the United Nations (UN) General Assembly passed a resolution. With each passing year, the observance has grown larger and stronger.

i'm thinking that i'd like to make this an official holiday at our house, get the kids thinking about water in a new way. i'm planning to ask my family to do the Walk for Water with me, inspired by women in water stressed countries who often walk 6 miles each day just to get water for their family. i'd also like to create some other traditions and was wondering if anyone out there had some good ideas for ways to celebrate water.
