Water is an essential part of life and conserving this resource is important to maintain the right ecological balance. However, globally, water crisis is a huge concern. According to the UN statistics, there are about 2.2 billion people who do not have access to safe drinking water. Hence to raise awareness on this pressing issue, World Water Day is celebrated every year on 22nd March.
Celebrate the day with Sony BBC Earth by watching the top 5 shows commemorating the importance of water.
