Exposures to polluted soil, water and air (both household and ambient) killed 8.4 million people in these countries in 2012.

We'd have a water treatment system treating wastewater, turning that into fresh water and generating energy from the solids using just plants and micro organisms.

Scientific research and technical development in the field of desalination and waste water treatment, in particular, could help to overcome the constraints of water scarcity.

Integrated water resources management plans could provide a broad framework to encompass not only water supply and waste water treatment, but also the development of other options, such as demand side management and waste water recycling and reuse.

Where public utilities are responsible for supplying both water and sanitation services, some of the interdependencies can be addressed, for example, by planning sewage and waste water treatment in consideration of the need for protection of water quality and drinking water sources.

Communities consistently cite reliable and accessible water sources for household use as a development priority and increasingly stress the importance of sanitation as well.

Mobilizing community level and household resources can make an important contribution to local water investments in informal settlements and peri urban and rural areas.

They are providing water purification materials, carrying out large scale public information campaigns, and helping to build treatment centers.

Pressure in an urban water system is typically maintained either by a pressurised water tank serving an urban area, by pumping the water up into a water tower and relying on gravity to maintain a constant pressure in the system or solely by pumps at the water treatment plant and repeater pumping stations.

For reuse on food crops, waste water may require advanced tertiary treatment, which can be substantially more costly than the secondary treatment needed for safe discharge into watercourses or other less sensitive uses.

Girls may miss schooling, either because of water hauling and other household chores, or because of the lack of suitable sanitation facilities at school, or both.
