We are in the 'decade of water'. The 1977 UN Conference on Water designated water as a common good. The aim at the 1981 conference was to 'provide every person with access to water of safe quality and adequate quantity, along with basic sanitary facilities, by 1990.' In 2000, the UN Millennium Declaration was to 'halve by 2015, the proportion of people who are unable to reach or to afford safe drinking water'.
