The world is far from achieving the goal “ensure access to water and sanitation for all”, with millions of people lacking access to clean water and sanitation. Pollution, increasing water demand, and its intensive use have significantly affected water reserves.
Natural disasters related to water – floods, storms, droughts and landslides have been occurring. Disease outbreaks and water scarcity, particularly in certain parts of the globe, constrain freedom, justice, peace, and global balance.
Over the last five decades, the Portuguese Association of Water Resources has been a meeting point for professionals from various backgrounds and fields of activity, seeking to be close to civil society and contribute to the promotion of integrated public policies for water management.
The Future of Water is now. In the context of climate adaptation, it is urgent to protect, use and manage water resources fairly and sustainably. Let’s advocate for Water for Peace with energy and concern!
