Increasing Access to Safe Drinking Water Sample Clauses

Increasing Access to Safe Drinking Water. According to the Joint Monitoring Program of the WHO and UNICEF, the world is on track to meet the safe drinking water part of Target 10 of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7, which is to halve the proportion of the population without access to safe drinking water by 2015 (United Nations, 2002). Goal 7 is the only MDG specifically addressing access to clean water. However, even then, an estimated 672 million people will still lack access to improved water sources (WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2010). In 2004, it was calculated that, to meet this target, an additional 100 million people annually, or 274,000 daily, will need to gain access to improved water sources (Sanctuary, et al., 2005). It has been estimated that the cost of achieving the MDG target for water by 2015 would be USD$11.3 billion annually, but that the potential economic gains are USD$84 billion (Xxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2004; G. Hutton, Haller, & Xxxxxxx, 2007; Sanctuary, et al., 2005). Depending on the region, economic returns for meeting the MDG target for water were estimated at between USD$4.4 and USD$31.6 for every USD$1 invested(X. Xxxxxx, et al., 2007). The Millennium Development Project is one of several international commitments made to improve the problem of inadequate access to safe water. Others include Agenda 21, an action plan developed for the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, in which the UN reaffirmed its commitment to the MDGs and Agenda 21 at the Earth Summit of 2002. The UN also named 2005-2015 as the Water for Life Decade (United Nations, 2010), and the World Water Assessment Programme, through the UN, was founded in 2000 to monitor freshwater issues (UNESCO, 2011). Many organizations worldwide are involved in projects to increase access to safe drinking water.
