14 Main Message 1 Eliminating inequalities is essential: Effective policies, strategies and subsidies must be developed to ensure no one is left behind. Extending access to safe drinking water still presents a huge challenge Billions of people still need access to basic toilet and handwashing facilities

15 SDG Safely managed drinking water Global drinking water coverage (per cent) in 2015 Proportion of population using at least basic drinking water services in 2015 Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

16 SDG Safely managed drinking water Over 5 billion people (7 out of 10) used safely managed drinking water in 2015 Global drinking water coverage (per cent) in 2015 Proportion of population using safely at least managed basic drinking water water services in 2015 in billion lacked safely managed drinking water 844 million still lacked a basic service 263 million used a limited service 159 million used surface water sources Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

17 SDG 6.2.1a Safely managed sanitation Proportion of population using at least basic sanitation services in 2015 Nearly 3 billion people used a safely managed sanitation service in 2015 (2 out of 5 lived in rural areas). Global sanitation coverage (per cent) in 2015 Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in billion people lacked safely managed sanitation services 2.3 billion people still lacked even a basic sanitation service 892 million people still practised open defecation Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

18 SDG 6.2.1a Safely managed sanitation 892m people still practised open defecation in 2015: two thirds lived in two SDG regions (CSA + SSA) 80% live in 10 countries 9 out of 10 live in rural areas Providing WASH services to bridge the inequality gap is a great opportunity! Open defecation across SDG regions from 2000 through to 2015 Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

19 Main Message 2 Developing capacity and using smart technologies Smart technologies could improve all aspects of water management...

20 SDG Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources Level of water stress More than 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress. The situation will likely worsen as populations and the demand for water grow, and as the effects of climate change intensify. Average Global Water Stress is 11 % Highest water stress are Northern Africa and Western Asia (79%) and Central and Southern Asia (66%). Sub-Saharan Africa, has a low level of water stress at 3%, but this hides the large differences between the wetter north and drier south. Data source: FAO, 2016

21 WATER USES for AGRICULTURE and INDUSTRIES Agriculture places enormous stress on water, but is also part of a water-saving solution: saving just a fraction of agricultural withdrawals would significantly alleviate water stress in other sectors. Data sources: AQUASTAT 2018

22 SDG Proportion of wastewater safely treated By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally The extent of industrial pollution is not known, as discharges are poorly monitored and seldom aggregated at national level Data sources: WHO UN-HABITAT, 2018

23 Main Message 2 Developing capacity and using smart technologies TREATING and REUSING WATER IRRIGATION INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES POTABLE WATER AQUIFER RECHARGE HEATING/COOLING Treated ( fit-for-purpose ) wastewater is a safe and reliable source of water that can be used to offset water scarcity Data sources: WWDR, 2017

24 Main Message 2 Developing capacity and using smart technologies Smart technologies could improve all aspects of water management, but only limited progress can be made and any investment is at risk without developing the necessary human and institutional capacity.

25 Main Message 3 Improving Governance and Public Participation Implement IWRM Integration across water and waterusing sectors and effective transboundary governance frameworks is essential to ensure that limited water resources are shared effectively among many competing demands. Public participation is critical to water management. Community participation in decisionmaking can yield many benefits, but better means of measuring quality and effectiveness of such participation are needed.

26 SDG 6.b.1Percentage of local administrative units with established and operational policies and procedures for participation of local communities in water and sanitation management. Over 75% of countries report having clearly defined policies and procedures in place for the participation of service users and communities in planning programmes for drinking water supply. However, the number of countries that report high levels of user participation remains comparatively low. Percentages of countries with defined procedures in law or policy for participation (number of countries = 110) Source: WHO and UN-Water (2017). Data sources: WHO and UN-Water (2017).

27 Main Message 4 Creating new ways to finance water and sanitation US$114 billion per year are estimate as the annual capital costs of meeting SDG targets 6.1 and 6.2 (without operation and maintenance, monitoring, institutional support, sector strengthening and human resources). This does not include other SDG 6 targets.
