World Water Day

World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, focuses on the importance of freshwater.

World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.

Groundwater, making the invisible visible

This 2022, the focus is groundwater, an invisible resource with an impact visible everywhere.

Groundwater is water found underground in aquifers, which are geological formations of rocks, sands and gravels that hold substantial quantities of water. Groundwater feeds springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands, and seeps into oceans. Groundwater is recharged mainly from rain and snowfall infiltrating the ground. Groundwater can be extracted to the surface by pumps and wells.

Life would not be possible without groundwater. Most arid areas of the world depend entirely on groundwater. Groundwater supplies a large proportion of the water we use for drinking, sanitation, food production and industrial processes.

It is also critically important to the healthy functioning of ecosystems, such as wetlands and rivers.

We must protect them from overexploitation – abstracting more water than is recharged by rain and snow – and the pollution that currently haunts them, since it can lead to the depletion of this resource, extra-costs of processing it, and sometimes even preventing its use.

Exploring, protecting and sustainably using groundwater will be central to surviving and adapting to climate change and meeting the needs of a growing population.

The idea for this international day goes back to 1992, the year in which the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro took place. That same year, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by which 22 March of each year was declared World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993.

On June 10, 2011 Amaretto held our first Amaretto Social Gala to celebrate the unveiling of our new website the Amaretto Social Network as well as the addition of the Elemental Horses. There were concerts, live singers, fireworks and 5 very special horses were given away as prizes! These 5 Elemental Gala Edition Horses were given away at random during the Social Gala and are the only ones on the grid that have particles effects!

Elemental Gala Horses can NOT pass their coat or the particle effects.

However breeding an Elemental Gala Horse with another Elemental Horse or with any other horse with  Element eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Elemental Horse.

The 5 Elemental Gala Horses given away as prizes at the Amaretto Social Gala are ONE OF A KIND!

The Elemental Horses that you will be able to breed for will NOT have the particle option that the ones given away have. This makes these 5 Elemental Horses the ONLY Horses of this kind on the grid! Congratulations to the Winners of these special horses.
