Challenge: Manage water in a way that
meets global demand for food production,
strives to achieve access to water and
sanitation for all, provides sufficient energy, supports
robust economies and sustains healthy
freshwater ecosystems.

While only 15% of basins are water-scarce, these
basins contain 50% of cities over 100,000 people

Lessons to Note
• Think big but start small
• Don’t re-invent the wheel.. but remember local conditions require locally relevant solutions
• Collaborative solutions exist in the overlap of objectives
• Complex understanding, simple communication
• Monitor, evaluate and adjust
