Blog - As the saying goes, "Water is life". However, one could rephrase it to say-"Adequate and safe water is life", or better yet, borrow the famous line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem titled 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner': 'water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink' to describe the global Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) situation. The availability of water everywhere does not imply its safety for drinking or other purposes.
