the campaign, called "the international decade for action: water for life 2005-2015," reflects the vital importance of clean water and is an appeal to the international community to promote better access to safe water and sanitation.
the world health organization (who) director-general lee jong-wook said on monday that these are critical years to focus global attention on what should be obvious, that clean water is indispensable to sustain life.
according to the who, more than one billion people currently have no access to safe water, and 1.8 million people, 90 percent of them children under five years old, die from diarrhea-related diseases every year.
the director-general urged the international community to regard the world water day as an occasion to renew their commitment to providing clean and safe water to all people in need.
