Water for Life Decade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United Nations proclaimed the period from 2005 to 2015 commencing on World Water Day to be the International Decade for Action, "Water for Life".[1]

During the first UN decade on water in 1981–1990, it is estimated that more than a billion people gained access to safe drinking water. [1]
