“Perhaps no two issues are more important to human health, economic development, and peace and security than basic sanitation and access to sustainable supplies of water. I have witnessed this first-hand. Without reliable supplies of clean water, people cannot live, farmers cannot grow crops, and the environment on which we all depend cannot survive. Without proper sanitation, human health and dignity suffer, and the environment and water supplies often become contaminated. Together, we must work to ensure that no child dies from a preventable water-related disease, that no girl fears going to school for lack of access to a separate toilet, that no woman walks six kilometers to collect water for her family, and that no war is ever fought over water”.  Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State, USA, in her introduction to the Report to Congress of the Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act, June 2009 (Source: Source News, 6 August 2009).
