Description:

Water is the climate challenge and it poses a major risk for the water security of the citizens of India. The Challenge varies across States and is eliciting a wide range of responses from the stakeholders at different levels. Unfortunately there is no structural framework of sharing knowledge on the water challenges as well as the problem solving experiences of utilities across the country. In this context the UN General Assembly has mandated the UN agencies to form United Nations Global Water Operators Partnerships (UN-GWOPA).
