Clean Water and Sanitation

By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping, minimizing the release of harmful chemicals and substances, halving untreated wastewater, and dramatically increasing recycling and safe reuse globally.

By 2030, substantially increase water use efficiency in all sectors, ensure a sustainable supply of fresh water to address water scarcity, and significantly reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity.
