SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL6: CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Clean water is an essential element not only for humans, but it is also a requirement of plants, animals, and other related sustainable developments.

Fresh, clean, and safe water is an equal right for all humans in sufficient quantity and quality and sustainable growth.

Safe drinking water, and adequate sanitation and hygiene, are fundamental to protecting health, and directly contribute to achieving good health and well-being.

Fresh water, in sufficient quantity and quality, is essential for all aspects of life and sustainable development.

Population growth, agriculture, urbanization, industrial production and pollution, and climate change are beginning to overwhelm and undermine nature’s ability to provide key functions and services.

Access to water, sanitation and hygiene is a human right, yet billions are still faced with daily chal­lenges accessing even the most basic of services.

Water is an essential ingredient in agriculture and food production. It is intrinsic to ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agri­culture.

Therefore, water shortages and scarcity can seriously affect agriculture and food production, particularly in vulnerable developing countries, where the demand for food is increas­ing and undernutrition is endemic.

World hunger is rising again now, following a prolonged period of decline, as more people suffer food insecurity.

Water-related ecosystems are increasingly under threat, as the demand grows for fresh water for agri­culture, energy and human settlements. They endure effects from pollution, infrastructure development and resource extraction.

Water quality is diminishing as pollution from patho­gens, organic matter, nutrients and salinity increase due to lack of properly managed sanitation.

A lot of peo­ple globally use a source of drinking water that is contaminated. These people lack access to basic san­itation services, such as toilets or latrines.

There is a lot of wastewater result­ing from human activities being discharged into rivers or sea without any treat­ment, leading to pollution.

Some sustainable development goals includes providing facilities of clean water and sanitation, reduction of poverty, protection of the biodiversity, and ensuring peace and prosperity by 2030 around the world.

Water and sanitation-related diseases is a major cause of death in children. So many children die every day from diarrhea diseases linked to poor hygiene.

Sdg6 aims to ensure access to safe water sources and sanitation for all.

Underdeveloped countries are struggling to offer clean water and sanitation services to their inhabitants.

Water-related diseases are closely linked to poverty, and affect vulnerable commu­nities that do not have access even to clean water.

SDG 6 aims to provide universal and fair access to safe and affordable drinking water for human society.

Sustainable development requires reducing waste and recycling as much water as possible with a circular system.

The agenda recognized the need for clean water and proper sanitation for human rights.

To achieve safe and affordable water is a massive challenge for underdeveloped countries.

The water sectors are facing enormous challenges from pollution and the improvement of clean water quality.

The SDG6 thoroughly focuses on the importance and improvement of water usage, wastage, and it is reusing from domestic to industrial level.

The water management and ecosystem are interconnected with each other. The water-related ecosystem is also affecting the social development of the countries and their economic resources.

The SDG6 aims to increase the use of water efficiency and ensure clean water supply to all.

Economic growth is the priority of most countries rather than other issues.

SDG ambition to maintain society and ensure clean water access for all and end poverty and hunger from everywhere. By so doing SDG insists on the water-related ecosystem to sustain multiple social societies and their developments, as well as the water-related ecosystem, maintain the biodiversity, food and energy production and land-sea ecosystem on earth.

The goal is to remain a water-related ecosystem and sustain biodiversity-related resources like rivers, lakes, oceans, trees and other living spacious, Sustainable sanitation and reducing water waste in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem.

Proper water and sanitation are a key foundation for achiev­ing the Sustainable Development Goals, including good health and gender equality.

By managing water sustainably, production of food and energy that contribute to decent work and eco­nomic growth can also be managed.

Moreover, water ecosystems, their biodiversity can be preserved and action on climate change can be taken.

SDG6 is achievable with the considerable contribution of all member countries to expand international cooperation and capacity building related to sustainable water supply and management.

Global water and sanitation monitoring are essential to observe the progress towards achieving the goals in SDG 6.

SDGs recognizes the most aspects of human rights and development with the sustainable growth of the environment in cost-effective approaches.

The targets of SDG are essential to meet, but access to the use of water and unsustainable sanitation causes significant land issues and climate change. Natural resources should be sustained for the coming generations.

Fresh water, in sufficient quantity and quality, is essential for all aspects of life and sustainable development.

Land and freshwater ecosystems are totally interdependent. Land-based ecosystems depend on freshwater resources in suf­ficient quantity and quality; in turn, activities on land, including land use, influence water availability and quality for people, industry and ecosystems.

Poor water quality degrades freshwater habitats and coastal areas and can affect fishers, thus influencing both bio­diversity and food security.

Agriculture is both a leading cause and a victim of water pollution. Agriculture is the biggest water consumer that consumes 70% of the water at the global level.

Agricultural water withdrawals are consumed by crops, but some water is returned to water bodies, resulting in pollution.

The lack of water treatment from domestic and industrial sources also makes agriculture a victim, as polluted water contam­inates crops and transmits disease to consumers and the people involved in food production and processing.

Economic growth is still the priority for most countries. However, water is widely accepted as being important to economic growth.

A lot of people globally are directly dependent on water, including jobs in the food and beverage industry, the energy industry and the water industry. Smallholder farmers in developing countries rely on water.

Water quality is of equal concern as water quantity for the manufacturing industry.

A serious lack of capac­ity is constraining progress towards SDG 6 in many countries. Capacity development is required in en­gineering, scientific and technical disciplines, and also across all areas of the water sector, including in policy, law, governance, finance, information technology and management.

SDG 6 ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all and as such bold political choices are needed to ensure that resources are equitably allocated and to ensure provision of water and sanitation for all. An improved enabling environment for investment will create the necessary impetus for private sector invest­ment that will boost progress on SDG 6.
