[watsan, water] Summit Targets World Water Issues

Summit Targets World Water Issues from BBC News Online While global attention has recently focused on energy and food, a global summit this week in Stockholm, Sweden, will tackle the key issue of water. The World Water Week meeting starts on Sunday and will hear renewed calls to solve growing challenges of sanitation, climate change and drinkable supplies. Sanitation in particular is one of the most important global issues. The organisers say lack of adequate sanitation is a scandal that costs the lives of 1.4m children every year. Investing in this area, say scientists, is the most cost effective health intervention the world could make. http://snipurl.com/3hdfh>
