Celebrating Water for Life

The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.

Each year, March 22 – World Water Day – marks a permanent effort to promote access to safe drinking-water and sanitation. It is a springboard for raising awareness about water, stimulating debate and focusing on the dangers that derive from inadequate access to safe water and basic sanitation.

Danaher is proud to be a part of what World Water Day stands for. A global leader in environmental and water quality solutions, Danaher continues to provide leading-edge instrumentation and disinfection systems to help countries and municipalities increase their supply of this most precious resource. Billions of gallons of water are disinfected every day in more than 35 countries with our ultraviolet treatment systems, and underground tank monitoring and advanced vapor recovery are helping to protect the water supply as well as improve air quality.

“We shall not finally defeat AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, or any of the other infectious diseases that plague the developing world until we have also won the battle for safe drinking-water, sanitation and basic heath care.” Kofi Annan, United Nationals Secretary-General
