摘要：Access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an
important prerequisite for improved health and for success
in the fight against poverty. Yet across the world, around
1.1 billion people still lack access to a safe and sustainable
water supply and 2.6 billion to adequate sanitation. Without
increased efforts to address this problem, millions of people
will continue to be locked in a cycle of poverty and disease.
In adopting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the
Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development
(WSSD) in 2000, the countries of the world pledged inter alia
to reduce by half the proportion of people without access to
safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015.
