Nello speciale: Enough is not enough (clean water is necessary for health. Hygiene and protected storage are essential); Business begins to stir (many, including the World Bank, once believed that privatisation was the solution to the inefficient provision of water); Making farmers matter farming is the activity that requires the greatest quantity of water.
