Title : Water for People, Water for Life : A Joint Report by the Twenty-three UN Agencies Concerned with Freshwater Material Type: printed text Authors: World Water Assessment Programme, Author Publisher: UNESCO Publication Date: 2003 ISBN (or other code): 978-1-571-81628-3 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Climate Change

SustainabilityAbstract: The world's freshwater resources are coming under growing pressure through such environmental hazards as human waste, urbanization, industrialization, and pesticides. The problems are exacerbated through drought in many parts of the world. The improvement of the water quality itself and access to it have been major concerns for politicians and development agencies for over a decade. First officially formulated at the Rio Earth Summit of 1992, they have been restated or expanded since then.
The UN Millennium Declaration of 2000 transformed general guidelines into specific targets. The international community pledged "to halve by 2015 the proportion of people who are unable to reach, or to afford, safe drinking water" and "to stop the unsustainable exploitation of water resources, by developing water management strategies at the regional, national and local levels, which promote both equitable access and adequate supplies." Thus, ten years after Rio it is time to take stock.
Based on the collective inputs of 23 United Nations agencies and convention secretariats, this Report offers a global overview of the state of the world's freshwater resources. It is part of an on-going assessment process to develop policies and help with their implementation as well as to measure any progress towards achieving sustainable use of water resources.Water for People, Water for Life : A Joint Report by the Twenty-three UN Agencies Concerned with Freshwater [printed text] / World Water Assessment Programme, Author . - [S.l.] : UNESCO, 2003.
