Access to clean potable water is of great strategic importance to both health and agriculture. Clean water and safe sanitation are crucial for the chance of survival of the poor, as well as a prime vehicle for social and economic growth. Robin Pistorious deals with questions such as:

• What are the social and economic prerequisites for clean and safe drinking water and sanitation?
• How can good governance help to increase access to safe drinking water and sanitation?
• How can developing countries be helped to achieve these goals?
