Water for cities: responding to the urban challenge
Did you know?
- One of four urban dwellers does not have access to improved sanitation facilities.
- Every second, the urban population grows by two people.
- 141 million city dwellers do not have access to fresh water.
- The situation is dire for the 828 million people who live in the slums and shantytowns.
Is your city water-rich? If yes, what is being done to share this wealth? Can you be a voice in this debate? If your city is water-poor, what challenges are faced?
How can we all be in solidarity on the question of “sharing water”?
