How to make the right to safe drinking water a reality

Fifteen years ago, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a historic resolution recognizing, for the first time, the fundamental right to safe drinking water and sanitation.

This recognition, spearheaded by Bolivia and the country's then President Evo Morales, was a major achievement — both symbolic and political — for billions of people still deprived of essential services. And yet, despite this progress, this right remains a promise unfulfilled.
