Water
Water is a precious resource and should be used wisely. Saving water and protecting water resources is everyone’s responsibility.
OVERVIEW
Water is an essential and vital resource for everyday life. We focus on protecting and managing water sustainably. We promote efficient use of water,
ensure access to clean water and sanitation for all, and propose solutions to restore and protect freshwater resources.
ACTION
Monitoring the volume of clean water used in buildings at Nam Can Tho University.
Treatment of domestic wastewater from buildings at Nam Can Tho University is an effective and sustainable solution to
minimize the impact of human activities on the environment and the health of the community.
Procedures to prevent contaminated water from entering the water supply system, including contamination caused by accidents and incidents, to ensure the safety
of clean water sources used at the School, avoiding water waste if clean water is contaminated.
The application of construction standards to minimize water use is a priority solution.
GOALS
By 2030, achieve access to safe drinking water in disadvantaged rural areas, including safe toilets and adequate sanitation and ending open defecation, paying particular attention to the needs of women and girls and people in vulnerable situations.
By 2030, expand international cooperation and support capacity building for developing countries in water and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies.
By 2030, achieve access to safe drinking water in disadvantaged rural areas.
Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management.
By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating discharge and minimizing emissions of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing global recycling and safe reuse.
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce all forms of marine pollution, in particular from land-based activities, including marine litter and nutrient pollution.
By 2030, substantially increase water use efficiency across all sectors.
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
By 2030, support the protection and restoration of water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes.
Promote the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in UNCLOS, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources, as reiterated in paragraph 158 of The Future We Want.
LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD
A BETTER WORLD FOR EVERYONE!
The SDGs give us a shared vision of the future we want to create. Achieving these goals
requires unity and action from everyone, from national leaders to individuals in communities
