The issues surrounding water services are some of the most critical
challenges facing not only the United States, but also the global
community today. The Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences,
Research, and Medicine of the Institute of Medicine convened a
workshop in October 2007, summarized in this volume, to address
objectives related to Sustainable Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
Services. One of the objectives of the workshop was to think about
the interdependence of environmental health and human health as
connected through water. Organizations cannot discuss water without
considering the interrelationship of sanitation and hygiene. It is
the convergence of these strategies that promotes healthy outcomes
for both individuals and the environment. A second objective of the
workshop was to consider how planning, management, and
interdisciplinary approaches-including technology, social
behavioral issues, gender, health, environment, economic, and
political aspects-can be integrated to arrive at sustainable
solutions. Many organizations and agencies are trying to forge a
path toward sustainable practices in water, but the various sectors
utilizing and governing water services are not interconnected. More
integration and a greater understanding of holistic approaches are
needed. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Workshop Introduction 2
