Access to safe water supply has been one
of the top priorities in developing countries over the past
three to four decades, and billions of dollars have been
invested in pursuit of the goal of universal service. And
yet the general consensus at the 2002 United Nations World
Summit on Sustainable Development was that the current
reality-as well as the situation expected in the near
future-are far from that goal (The Economist Sept. 7-13,
2002). In fact, recent reports emphasize that the world is
facing a serious water crisis and that water access and
service delivery in the developing world need to be improved
dramatically and urgently, especially if we are to make
gains in the fight against poverty, hunger, and disease
(United Nations 2003). World leaders not only agree that
water is an important part of the core development agenda
but have also committed to ambitious targets for expanding
access to water services. At the U.N. Millennium Summit in
2000 and subsequently at the Johannesburg Earth Summit in
2002, world leaders agreed to a set of time-bound and
measurable development targets-widely known as the
Millennium Development Goals for 2015-which include a
commitment to halve the proportion of people without access
to safe drinking water. |
