Water is a bare necessity of life and our freshwater resources are increasingly under pressure as the world population and economies grow exponentially, degrade the environment and exacerbate climate change. It is also a sad reality that in this day and age one in six people still lack access to sufficient and safe water for their daily needs, and that every minute a child dies  because of  contaminated water and inadequate sanitation and hygiene.

On World Water Day 2018 the Water Action Decade 2018 – 2028 was launched to address the increasing water challenges as a core element of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to mobilize action and collaboration of all stakeholders across the globe for the sustainable use and governance of water resources.
