The UN General Assembly declared November 19 as World Toilet Day, which is designated annually by a collaboration between UN-Water and national governments all over the world.
The World Toilet Day 2022 campaign, "Making the invisible visible," explores how poor sanitation systems transmit human waste into rivers, lakes, and soil, damaging subsurface water resources. It focuses on the impact of the sanitation issue on groundwater.
The most plentiful source of freshwater on earth is groundwater. It serves agriculture, industry, ecosystems, sanitization systems, and drinking water sources. Groundwater is essential for human life as global warming intensifies and population numbers rise.
The purpose of World Toilet Day is to promote and raise public knowledge of larger sanitation systems, such as hand washing, wastewater treatment, and stormwater management.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals' Goal 6 demands for appropriate sanitation, which includes a system that guarantees the safe processing of waste. When the UN formally recognised the right to water and sanitation as a human right in 2010, their attempts to draw attention to the sanitation crisis were reinforced.
The main takeaway from World Toilet Day 2022 is that properly managed sanitation shields groundwater from contamination by human waste. The globe is now far from achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2, which calls for the provision of safe restrooms for all by 2030. In order to guarantee that SDG 6.2 is completed on time, the campaign calls on governments to work an average of four times quicker.
