This special day is dedicated to raising awareness about the significance of rivers as a source of freshwater, habitat for wildlife, and recreational spaces for humans.

Many communities also host river-themed events, such as boat tours, fishing trips, and nature walks, to encourage people to appreciate and connect with these natural wonders.
