Corporation for Sustainable Development
Under the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) of the United Nations (UN),
it has been agreed to halve the number of people without access to safe
drinking water by 2015. The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, agreed at the
World Summit on Sustainable Development, added a similar global sanitation
target.
All this has meant that the UN is busy drawing up strategies to
implement and monitor this massive task. It has been estimated that meeting the
drinking water goal would require providing access to an additional 1.6 billion
people by 2015. The crisis involves the poorest; with more than four out of
five people without access to drinking water living in rural areas of the
world. Furthermore, these estimates do not even begin to understand the crisis
of the quality of the drinking water source, which is increasingly contaminated
with sewage, industrial waste or underground toxins like arsenic or fluoride �
an issue we in India understand all too well.
The UN estimates that roughly US $26 billion will be needed just to meet
the water goal over the next 11 years. How then will these targets be met?
