Water Resource Management Employees Day is observed in Ukraine every first Sunday of June. Established by President Leonid Kuchma in 2003, this professional holiday recognizes the significant contributions of individuals working in water resource management and land reclamation. The day aims to highlight the efforts of these workers in meeting the water needs of agriculture, industry, and the population. Celebrations typically occur on the preceding Friday or following Monday, where employees receive congratulations from government officials and may be awarded for their achievements. The State Water Resources Agency of Ukraine, which reports to the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection, plays a central role in this observance, overseeing the management and replenishment of surface water resources and the operation of various water facilities across the country.
