Achieving Water Security: Making Water Everybodies Business
The World Water Vision is at the core of the debate and thousands of
participants discuss actions to achieve this vision. Inspired by the Dublin
principles, Agenda 21, chapter 18 of the UN Conference on Environment and
Development and by various internationally ratified conventions relevant to
water, these actions culminated in the Framework for Action.

Making Every Drop Count
Today, nearly 450 million people in 29 countries face water shortage
problems - a figure that is projected to jump to nearly 2.5 billion people
by 2050. The Global Water Partnership discusses these issues in the
following article:

Long Road to Cost Recovery in Rural Water Supply
Until recently, few people seemed to take seriously the notion that cost
recovery principles should (or could) be rigorously applied to the users of
rural water delivery systems. Eric Johnson discusses intermediate,
practical, "rural area applicable" steps on the road to improving cost
recovery focusing on a few recent solar powered water supply projects.

Water Flows Uphill towards Money
Billions will be needed to provide water supply and sanitation in urban
areas in the first half of the 21st century! Where will these enormous
investment sums come from? "Water and the Numbers Game", written by Al Fry,
currently Program Manager for Natural Resources - World Business Council for
Sustainable Development, says investment is not the problem, repaying the
loans is. Read why sound water pricing policies are part of the solution.

Meeting the Sanitation and Hygiene Challenge: Experience of WaterAid in
India
A global sanitation crisis exists: half the world’s population does not have
access to adequate sanitation facilities and hygiene education for the
disposal of human excreta in a safe way. At the recent Second World Water
Forum held in The Hague in March 2000, the Global Water Partnership
identified sanitation as one of five urgent water priorities that needed to
be tackled. This report outlines how the Water Aid country programme in
India addressed the difficulties associated with promoting sanitation and
hygiene, and sets out its achievements to date.

Great Lakes' Water Levels Drop Below Average
Water levels in North America's Great Lakes, the world's largest fresh-water
system, are below average for this time of year, and this will affect
shipping, recreational boating and marina operators this summer, the
Canadian government's environment department, warned.

Pall Corporation Launches Aria Membrane Micro-filtration Drinking Water
Systems
Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL) has developed the Aria family of Membrane
Micro-filtration systems to filter drinking water in municipalities with
populations of 10,000 or less. The Aria family of systems is skid-mounted,
fully automated and self-contained to facilitate installation. Operator
interface is simple and straightforward. Once programmed the system will run
unattended at a constant clean water production rate. This new system will
provide drinking water filtered to the highest levels of purity for remote
areas that cannot rely on large municipalities.

Methodology for Selecting Desalination Processes in Water/Energy Supply
Structures
Depending on the extent to which water becomes a more and more valuable
property and its appropriation and quality protection develops as an
essential importance for mankind, desalination processes will increasingly
contribute to water reclamation, treatment, supply and saving measures not
only in the arid areas of the earth.
