World Water Day, celebrated on 22 March is an annual United Nations observance day highlighting the importance of conserving and protecting water. Reflecting on the need to adopt responsible water management practices and to raise awareness of the problems related to its access and equitable use around the world.
At TWC Facilities, we celebrate this day because we believe that we can all do our bit for the sustainable management of water.
History Of World Water Day
World Water Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993 to raise global awareness about the importance of freshwater and advocate for sustainable water management. Over the years, the day has highlighted critical issues such as water scarcity, sanitation, climate change, and pollution, urging governments and communities to take action.
Each year, a specific theme sheds light on a key water-related concern, reinforcing the urgent need for solutions. In 2025, World Water Day is focusing on glacier preservation.
Preserving glaciers is vital for the well-being of individuals and communities worldwide. Through the implementation of sustainable glacier management and monitoring practices, humanity can protect these frozen reservoirs that still hold approximately 70% of Earth’s freshwater.

How TWC can help you protect this vital resource
At TWC Facilities, we believe water is an expensive commodity especially in large washrooms and that we can all collectively make a BIG impact on water conservation.
So, we are supporting World Water Day by helping spread the word and highlighting solutions that will control water usage in your washrooms.
Advanced water management solutions
At TWC Facilities we supply WES Easyflush water managers (https://www.twc-facilities.com/washroom-services/water-management/). These water managers control the water usage in your washrooms ensuring no water is wasted. In a traditional cistern / urinal system, the water must flow continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our timed systems periodically flush water through the cistern and urinals. We configure the interval to your exact requirements delivering significant cost savings whilst maintaining an essential water flow in the urinal.
In conjunction with these we offer treatments that contain Probiotics (Good Bacteria) that neutralise the bad bacteria and create a safe harmony within the pipework whilst using minimal water.
