Editorial: Why partial solutions may not be solutions at all
In the United Nations’ exposition of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (‘ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’), the problems of water and sanitation are framed in terms of the targets and indicators that would demonstrate desired progress. The underlying problems for which these targets represent a solution include the world’s failure so far to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and to adequate and equitable sanitation. Specific attention is also drawn to the threats to the quality and quantity of the water resources on which humanity depends for its survival.
