- Fresh water is essential for the survival of the humans and their well-being. Its availability and distribution in adequate quantity and quality is important for meeting many basic human needs. Fresh water, however, is unevenly distributed in space and time and creates physical constraints to meet such needs. These constraints are amplified by overuse, increasing pollution and poor management of water limiting its access to those who need it the most. As a result, millions of people live without clean water, which adversely impacts health, food security, livelihoods and well-being of the poor and marginalized households in developing countries. These conditions further exacerbate hunger, malnutrition, and gender disparity.
