The theme for this year's World Water Day is “Water for Peace.” As climate change impacts increase and populations grow, there is an urgent need — within and between countries — to unite around protecting and conserving our most precious resource.
To mark this year's World Water Day on March 22, KAUST wishes to celebrate the importance of water and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Global prosperity and peace depend heavily on shared water resources. Considering the arid climate of Saudi Arabia and the challenges affecting global water resources, recognizing the importance of sustainable freshwater management is crucial.
Within this context, KAUST is committed to continuously enhancing its water management system to reach the goal of zero-water waste through efficient water production, distribution, waste minimization, treatment and reuse.
