Isi artikelWater is hardly a new development priority, but htis issue has been thrust to the top of the global agenda, after years of relative neglect. More than a billion of people lack access to safe drinking water, and over 2.4 billion lack of access to proper sanitary facilities. some two million children every year (about 6.000 a day) die from infections caused by water-borne diseases. In China, India and Indonesia, twice as many people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases as from HIV/AIDS. Easily accesible clean water means that women and girls do not have to walk miles each day to lug heavy buckets of usually dirty water for use at home. Instead they can go to school or engage in productive activities. Recognizing this, donors have committed significant resources to improve access to water and sanitation. The European Union has pledged to increase the more than one billion Euros ir already spends on water projects. The United states has announced that it will invest $970 million over three years. Japan has provided more than 40 million people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation in the past five years. This is a very encouraging start that urgently needs to be further built on at the World Water Forum.
