Today is World Water Day

World Water Day was declared as Water Day in 1992 by the United Nations General Assembly at a Conference in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Thus, World Water Day has been celebrated since 1993 in accordance with the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. According to SODB 2021, the Slovak Republic has 1,908,422 apartments that have water supply in the apartment from a common source. These apartments represent 85.37% of all apartments in Slovakia. Slovak households are thus among the luckiest in the world, as the vast majority of them have convenient access to clean water. 235,640 apartments have water supply in the apartment from their own source, which represents more than 10.5% of apartments. There are over 2% of apartments in Slovakia without water supply, more precisely 45,468. The fewest apartments without water supply are in the Bratislava Region, 670 apartments, which represents 0.2%. The most apartments without water supply are in the Prešov region, where 9,236 apartments do not have water supply. (TASR)
