UN report on wastewater management

A recent report by UN Water calls for a global focus on wastewater management. With only 20% being treated worldwide, wastewater represents a greatly underestimated resource and an issue that has exacerbated more than one water-related problem.

The report recognizes a direct link between wastewater, energy and food and points at wastewater management as a key factor to achieve future water security in a world where water stress is projected to increase even further.

The full report can be downloaded from the UN Water Portal.
