Fifth World Water Forum to explore sustainable solutions

摘要

Istanbul will host the Fifth World Water Forum, from 15 to 22 March, which will revolve around the overarching themes of 'Bridging divides for water'. The meeting aims to promote better understanding and the exchange of information between water users, policy makers and operators at local, regional and international level, with a view to working out solutions to global water issues. The event will also provide an opportunity to review progress to date on attaining the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, particularly the key goal of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation.
