Clean water and sanitation

Goal Six addresses the issues relating to ensuring sustained availability and access to safe water and sanitation for all. Highlights of the baseline status of the region are based on analysis of indicators on access to safe drinking water and sanitation, water-use efficiency and integrated water resources management. Asia-Pacific has made huge strides in expanding access to improved water sources despite challenges of water contamination and large disparities. But, large sections of the population in the region still do not have access to improved sanitation.
