Few issues matter more to public health, economic opportunity, and environmental integrity than the availability of clean water and sanitation. With the 4th World Water Forum scheduled for Mexico city in March 2006, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke’s Nicholas School and the Aspen Institute conducted a multi-stakeholder dialogue to help highlight the importance of global water issues, suggest steps to provide services more rapidly and effectively, and to identity and draw attention to constructive ways the U.S. government and other U.S. participants can take part in the Forum. This report is a summary of their conclusions from that April gathering at the Aspen Institute’s Wye River Conference Center.
