| Access to water remains a problem for many even at the beginning of the new Millennium… |

| Many low-income countries facing water scarcity have fast growing populations. They are generally least able to make costly investments in water saving technologies. And it is women and children who tend to carry the burden - often having to walk long distances to collect heavy water loads. This tends to impact adversely on the health of women and the schooling of their children. |
