Water affects everything and everyone. Over the Decade, our remit has taken us from improving access to sanitation, to recognizing the human right to water and sanitation, better understanding the water and energy nexus, facilitating women's involvement in water and sanitation issues, considering water and food linkages, highlighting water scarcity and better positioning water resources management. We have been involved in potential flashpoints where water spans national boundaries, and in the area of water quality, which is still difficult to measure accurately. And of course, we have considered the role water plays in sustainable development and our planet's biodiversity. There are so many areas where success can be celebrated!
