The United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG6) 6 seeks to ensure safe drinking water and sanitation for all.

SDG 6 goes beyond drinking water, sanitation and hygiene to also address the quality and sustainability of water resources, which are critical to the survival of people and the planet. 

The 2030 Agenda recognizes the centrality of water resources to sustainable development and the vital role that improved drinking water; sanitation and hygiene play in progress in other areas, including health, education and poverty reduction.
