Conclusion:
Freshwater is a finite and limited resource on Earth and, increasingly, much of it is polluted, by both pathogenic microbes and chemical contaminants. Human demand for freshwater is increasing; in particular, water is required to irrigate crops to feed the rapidly expanding human population. Hence there is an urgent need for such global initiative to spread awareness and tackle the water scarcity menace.
