At HSL, our priority is to maintain clean water for all of our clients, ensuring full compliance with all relevant legislation. Today marks World Water Day and in celebration of this, we are pleased to raise awareness of the UN’s mission to achieve its clean water targets and in particular, to bring attention to this year’s theme – “Water for Peace”.
To quote the UN website:
”When water is scarce or polluted, or when people have unequal or no access, tensions can rise between communities and countries. More than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet, out of 153 countries that share rivers, lakes and aquifers with their neighbours, only 24 countries report having cooperation agreements for all their shared water.
As climate change impacts increase, there is an urgent need, within and between countries, to unite around protecting and conserving our most precious resource. As populations grow, water will become increasingly important in the fight against poverty and the deterioration of the environment.
Cooperation on water can build vital resilience to extreme weather events and help populations to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate.
Public health and prosperity, food and energy systems, economic productivity and environmental integrity all rely on a well-functioning and equitably managed water cycle. This means that non-discrimination and equality in ensuring access to water and sanitation can have a positive ripple effect across society.
Peaceful cooperation around water can flow into peaceful cooperation in all sectors. By working together to balance everyone’s human rights and needs, water can be a stabilising force and a catalyst for sustainable development.” (https://www.un.org/en/observances/water-day)
