Bahrain has officially unveiled the "Sustainable Water" campaign, as part of the country's ongoing efforts to promote water conservation and recycling, reports Zawya. The initiative, introduced under the theme "Every Drop Has a Story," underscores the nation's commitment to sustainability in line with its National Water Strategy (2021-2030) and its 2023-2026 government programme. This strategy is closely aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 6, which focuses on access to clean water and sanitation.
The campaign was launched by Dr. Mohammed Bin Daina, Minister of Oil and Environment and Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, in partnership with the Supreme Council for Environment and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The key objective is to increase awareness among both institutions and the general public about the importance of water recycling and long-term water sustainability.
The launch event saw the participation of key government officials, including Ibrahim Al Hawaj, the Minister of Works, and Yasser Humaidan, the Minister of Electricity and Water Affairs.
During the event, Dr. Bin Daina emphasized the critical role that water recycling plays in securing Bahrain's water resources for future generations, positioning it as a cornerstone of the country’s sustainable development efforts. He further expressed gratitude for the collaboration between UNEP, governmental agencies, and civil society organizations, all of which are contributing to the success of the campaign.
