Every year, the 22nd of March is earmarked as World Water Day to lay emphasis on water-related issues. Water is becoming more and more scarce, and pressure on water has increased manifold due to the increase in population. Further, this has been aggravated by climate change. Water has not been equally and equitably distributed around the world. When water is scarce, polluted, in unequal measure, or there is no access to water, tension arises among countries, communities, or states. In the worst case, it may even trigger a war.
