If you’re really into following water issues around the world, you probably already know this week isWorld Water Week: a gathering of more than 2,600 humanitarians and policymakers in Stockholm, Sweden.
They’ll be discussing ideas for sustainable, long-term solutions to modern issues like water scarcity and access to sanitation, particularly in urban environments.
The goal is to help improve life for almost 900 million people
who don’t have access to safe water, and more than 2.7 million
who can’t access basic sanitation (UN Development Programme).
