Is safe and sustainable water and sanitation for all an
unaffordable pipedream? This book surveys the worldwide development
of water and sewage services and the challenges in meeting
Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) along with climate change,
population growth and urbanisation. It explores the reasons why
current SDG6 progress is failing, including weak policy
implementation, staff shortages and inadequate funding, as well as
the limited impact of aid funding. The author contends that despite
a series of innovations, debt finance remains too small to address
needs of developing economies. Therefore, instead of advocating new
funding, this book proposes addressing the funding gap through
technological innovation and more efficient management and
procurement through a series of examples that have challenged
traditional assumptions. After four decades of good intentions,
SDG6 is making a difference in monitoring shortfalls for the first
time, allowing for more effective responses. This book outlines the
role of innovation in hardware development, procurement and
installation, and discusses how network management and operations
can most effectively address funding gaps. The potential for
savings is considerable, if effectively replicated. New approaches
are driving forward affordable resilience, including nature-based
solutions such as upstream habitat enhancement to retain water and
improve downstream water quality; the circular economy, including
water, nutrient, energy and heat recovery from wastewater; and
demand management. This book will be of great value to scholars,
policy makers and practitioners interested in the global finance of
sustainable water and sanitation.
