Synopsis
More than a billion people cannot get safe drinking water. Half the world's population does not have adequate sanitation. Within a generation over three billion will be suffering from water stress if we carry on as before. It is a crisis of management. This book analyzes the issues and shows how we can solve the problems by using water more efficiently and productively. The key to sustainable water resources is an integrated approach. Careful planning and concerted action can make the fundamental changes needed. The implications of not dealing with the crisis are immense. Published with the World Water Commission
