Population growth and increasing living standards are putting heavy pressure on water resources. Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are degrading ecosystems and reducing their ability to provide essential goods and services to humankind. Reversing this threat and achieving sustainability requires an integrated approach to managing water, land, and ecosystems, one that takes into account socio-economic and environmental needs. World Water Actions looks at innovative water actions by communities large and small#individuals and organizations whose work is related to the management and use of water and who share an interest in ensuring safe, reliable, sustainable water resources for current and future generations. It shows that many actions have been initiated; many are ongoing; but many more are needed.
