Water is fundamental to life, yet millions around the world still struggle to access clean drinking water, proper sanitation, and hygiene services. The global community has committed to a goal that seeks to address these challenges by ensuring that by 2030, everyone will have access to safe, affordable drinking water. This goal also focuses on improving sanitation, ending open defecation, and reducing water pollution by minimizing the release of hazardous substances into water sources.

To achieve this, it's vital to manage water resources effectively, protect and restore ecosystems related to water, and foster international collaboration. By striving towards these objectives, the goal aims to secure better health, environmental sustainability, and economic growth for all, now and in the future.
