March 14 - International Day of Rivers       

                                                                


March 14 is celebrated in many countries as International Rivers Day, formerly known as International Day Against Dams, in the name of rivers, water and life, and appeared in the calendar of environmental dates initiated by the American non-profit organization International Rivers Network.

In March 1997, the first international conference against the construction of large dams was held in the city of Curitiba, Brazil, which supported the creation of a new holiday and decided to celebrate "a day against dams to protect rivers, water and life every year on March 14" under the slogan "For the rivers, water and life! The purpose of celebrating the International Day of Rivers is to draw the attention of the world community to the state of rivers and lakes today.

The Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, with the involvement of various segments of the society of the city of Tursunzade and the Shakhrinav district in the basins of the Shirkent and Khonakoh rivers, dedicated to the International Day of Rivers, held the “Clean Shore” campaign in order to increase the level of education and inform the population about promoting the protection of water sources.
