World Water Day: Drinking water fountains are the new standard

Every year on March 22, the focus is on the importance of water. The World Water Day this year stands for the indispensable role of water in people's lives and for the drinking fountains that have recently been required by law. This day serves to highlight global water-related challenges and to encourage local communities to find sustainable solutions. One such solution, which is becoming increasingly important, is public water dispensers and drinking fountains for our communities.

In many parts of the world, communities and water providers have recognized that access to safe drinking water is a fundamental necessity that supports daily life and promotes public health and protects the environment. Drinking water dispensers and drinking fountains in public spaces are becoming symbols of change and community initiatives for a more sustainable future.

The importance of water dispensers in communities

Water dispensers and drinking fountains perform several important functions in a community. They provide a reliable source of clean drinking water and help to significantly reduce the consumption of single-use plastic bottles. At a time when the world is being flooded with a growing flood of plastic, drinking fountains are a simple but also effective way to reduce plastic consumption, relieve our environment and protect it.

In addition, drinking water dispensers in communities promote a sense of belonging and social interaction. They serve as a meeting place for people of all ages and social classes who gather around a common resource: clean water. This has been the case in many parts of the world for many decades. These places promote the exchange of ideas, strengthen the sense of community and create an atmosphere of solidarity. Drinking water fountains revive a community and supply its small and large inhabitants with a vital source: drinking water

The 6th Sustainable Development Goal: Municipalities and their role in promoting water dispensers and drinking water fountains

Water is the source of life, yet access to clean drinking water remains a challenge for many communities worldwide. As part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations has set itself the goal of providing all people with access to clean water and sanitation by 2030. This goal is known as the Sixth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 6) and places the importance of water and sanitation at the center of the global development agenda. One of the most effective measures to promote access to clean drinking water in communities is to install drinking water dispensers and drinking fountains indoors and outdoors.

Drinking water fountains: A step towards sustainability

Drinking water fountains are a practical solution for access to clean drinking water and a symbol of sustainability and environmental protection. By reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles, because the consumption of bottled water in plastic bottles is expensive and also harmful to the environment, as plastic waste often ends up in rivers, lakes and oceans and causes significant environmental damage there. By promoting the use of water dispensers, communities can actively contribute to reducing plastic consumption and protecting the environment.

In addition, Aquadonas drinking water fountains are often equipped with modern filter technologies, which ensure that the water is of the highest quality without harming the environment.

Communities around the world are increasingly recognizing the benefits of drinking water fountains and investing in their installation. These investments pay off through improved public health and strengthen the city's image as a pioneer in environmental protection and sustainability.

Community initiatives for clean water

World Water Day is an opportunity for cities to celebrate and strengthen their collaborative initiatives for clean water. There are countless ways in which communities can become active and take a big step towards a better world.

Some cities have already launched innovative programs to ensure access to clean water for all citizens. This includes mobile drinking water stations, such as the model SUSA, which is used in particularly needy areas, as well as educational programs that inform the population about the importance of water protection.

Promoting education and education:

The installation of drinking water dispensers and drinking water fountains also provides an opportunity for education and education about the importance of clean drinking water and the impact of plastic pollution on the environment. Through our webinars, trade shows, and information events, communities can raise awareness of these issues and encourage people to actively contribute to protecting the environment.

Overall, communities and water suppliers play a crucial role in promoting water dispensers and drinking fountains as a sustainable solution to improve access to clean drinking water. By working with local governments, special-purpose associations, drinking fountain producers and other stakeholders, they can help achieve the Sixth Sustainable Development Goal and ensure a sustainable future for future generations.

A glimpse into the future

World Water Day reminds us that clean water is a limited and precious resource that must be protected and valued. Through community initiatives such as the installation of drinking water fountains and drinking water dispensers, communities can make an important contribution to protecting and conserving these vital resources.

As we look to a future where climate change, heat waves, and resource scarcity pose ever greater challenges, the importance of community-based solutions for clean water will only continue to grow. World Water Day is therefore an occasion to celebrate and a reminder of our shared responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of future generations by ensuring that clean water is accessible and above all clean for all people.
