Description

WATER

Water is vital for the life and health of people and ecosystems, but around the world women and men lack access to adequate and safe water to meet their most basic needs. Water resources, and the ecosystems that provide them, are under threat from pollution, overuse, land use changes and many other forces. How can we make sure that populations will have access to clean water in the future? In this edition of World Chronicle, Roberto Lenton, Director of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Division at the United Nations Development Programme, discusses how the water crisis can best be dealt with.
