The Blue Community applauds this initiative. We invite all countries, regions and cities to join in:
The government of the Provincia de la Rioja in Argentina commends that “event organisers, bar and restaurant owners and those responsible for popular festivals guarantee free access to drinking water in these venues”.
The provincial government writes:
The aim of this measure is to highlight the importance of safe water as a key factor for the well-being and health of the population.
With the aim of enhancing safety, well-being and inclusiveness at events of all kinds, the Bureau emphasises that this measure contributes to the prevention of dehydration, promotes general well-being and complements public health strategies aimed at reducing excessive alcohol consumption.
The Bureau stresses that ensuring access to safe drinking water not only improves the experience of participants, but also promotes a culture of care and collective responsibility. We are confident that this measure will contribute to making the event a safer, more inclusive and responsible experience,.
In addition, the provincial government offers its support to collaborate in the planning and implementation of this initiative and invites the sectors involved to join in this commitment to the health and well-being of the community.
The call also highlights that ensuring free drinking water is a simple but high-impact action to implement. By aligning with prevention and health promotion strategies, this action reinforces the importance of caring for people in recreational contexts, without neglecting social responsibility.
This call, which highlights the importance of preventive and responsible measures, is part of a public policy aimed at reducing problematic consumption and strengthening the well-being of the community in all areas.
