Abstract | This paper deals with the global water crisis that we face. The solutions to these problems can be found on the local level according to this report. The report argues that the key requirements to achieving sustainable water development and closing the access gap is the local engagement at community and regional levels backed by commitment from national governments. In order to achieve sustainable results, an appropriate policy framework and comprehensive planning at both national and basin level are essential. It is the local communities who ultimately supply basic services to the people. Sustainable development proves to be difficult to achieve for various reasons outlined in this report. |
