The UN World Water Development Report (WWDR) is released each year on World Water Day. Information related to the annual theme gives decision-makers tools to implement sustainable use of water resources .
More and more initiatives in schools and universities are educating people about the importance of conserving and managing water resources . For example , Michigan State University held a contest for "best World Water Day poster" in 2017 . Primary school children in the Philippines participated in a "My School Toilet" contest in 2010 .

The impact came in 2016 at its best , In 2016 , the World Water Day campaign and related publications reached millions of people through social media , dedicated websites and other channels: The UN-Water annual report states that social media engagement (hashtag #WorldWaterDay) had a maximum potential reach of 1.6 billion people worldwide in 2016 . Over 500 events in 1000 countries were registered on the World Water Day website that year .
