"I voted in favour of this European Parliament resolution on the 6th World Water Forum taking place in Marseille on 12-17 March 2012 because almost half of the developing world’s population lacks sanitation facilities, over 800 million people still use unsafe drinking water sources, and inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services and poor hygiene practices cause the death of more than 2.5 million children every year. Water management impacts directly on human health, energy production, agriculture and food security, and effective water management is a fundamental precondition for poverty reduction. New technological developments have the potential to achieve increased water efficiency and sustainability, and can be used in particular to the advantage of developing countries. The World Water Forum, which meets every three years, provides a unique platform where the water community and policy and decision makers from all regions of the world can come together, debate and attempt to find solutions to achieve water security."@en1
