A combined effort towards safe potable water [1]

IN countries like India where universal access to safe drinking-water at an acceptable level of service has not been achieved, the country's national drinking water policy should refer to "expressed targets for increasing access', according to the World Health Organisation's Guidelines for Drinking Water Safety.

Such policy statements should be consistent with achievement of the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations (UN) Millennium Declaration.
