World Water Day - Real challenges must be faced

The struggle for universal access to water is linked to many things -- geography and hydrogeology, governance and politics, poverty and social conflict, but in Nigeria it is also intricately linked to inadequate energy supply (in a nation that is the 6th largest supplier of petroleum to the U.S.)

Still, as countries of the world Sunday March 22, 2009, marked World Water Day with
the theme 'Sharing Water, Sharing Opportunities', the Lagos Water
Corporation (LWC) seems poised to face its challenges to increase water
supply to the residents of the state, according to this article in Nigeria's Sunday Independent.

About Voice for Water

This blog was inspired by my field research on the lack of access to water and sanitation in Nigeria. It continues to focus on this issue and has expanded to explore this issue regionally and globally. The idea is to share best practices, challenges and information for citizens, planners, policymakers, scholars and the public who believe that everyone deserves to realize their full human development potential and secure basic rights to health, freedom, a clean environment and economic well-being.
