HAYAT İÇİN SU

En küçük canlı organizmadan en büyük canlı varlığa kadar, bütün biyolojik yaşamı ve insan faaliyetlerini ayakta tutan su canlıların yaşaması için hayati öneme sahiptir.
Dünya nüfusunun hızla artması buna karşılık su kaynaklarının sabit kalması ve içilebilir suların büyük bir kısmının boşa harcanarak tüketilmesi, kirlilik ve yenilenebilir olarak yönetilmemesi suya olan ihtiyacı her geçen gün daha da artırmaktadır.

Suyu korumaya yönelik etkin eylemler gerçekleştirilmesi amacı ile Birleşmiş Milletler 2005 - 2015 yılları “Hayat İçin Su” Uluslararası On Yılı olarak ilan etmiş ve UNESCO tarafından da 2005 – 2015 “Hayat İçin Su” Uluslararası On Yılı Eylemi’ni destekleme kararı alınmıştır.
PTT Dünyamızın karşı karşıya olduğu en önemli sorunlardan biri olan su kıtlığı karşısında suyun korunması ve bilinçli tüketilmesi konularında farkındalık yaratmak amacı ile ‘Hayat İçin Su’ konulu anma bloğu ile ilkgün zarfı 07.10.2015 tarihinde tedavüle sunulmuştur.

WATER FOR LIFE

Water is of vital importance for surviving aquatic creatures, which keep alive all biological life and human activities, from the smallest living organism to the biggest living creature.
The need for water is increasing day by day because of the fact that water resources are stable and most of the potable waters are consumed by wasting and are failed to be managed in terms of their pollution and renewal while the world population is increasing rapidly.
In order to perform activities for protecting water, the United Nations declared the years between 2005-2015 as “Water for Life” international decade and also UNESCO decided to support the action of “Water for Life” international decade for the years between 2005 -2015.
In order to create awareness for protecting the water against water scarcity, which is one of the most important problems that our world encounter, and enabling water to be consumed consciously, a commemoration block and first day cover themed “Water for Life” were put into circulation PTT on 07 October 2015.
