O 8º Fórum Mundial da Água irá abordar a questão da água e pessoas como um dos seus temas centrais, com foco no acesso à água, saneamento e saúde pública. Para isso, foram definidos três tópicos que pretendem abarcar as questões para discussão sob o tema Pessoas, que deverão transformar-se em Sessões Temáticas e palcos de debates durante o 8º Fórum em 2018. São eles:
- Acesso universal à água segura em quantidade suficiente
- Acesso universal ao saneamento integrado
- Água e saúde pública
Considerando esse conjunto de tópicos sobre Pessoas – Água, Saneamento e Saúde:
- Quais os maiores desafios em cada tópico que interessam à sociedade civil e às comunidades e que deveriam ser debatidas durante o 8º Fórum Mundial da Água?
- Como esses desafios se relacionam com problemas na sua cidade, comunidade ou arredores?
Suas respostas vão ajudar a organização do Fórum na definição das Sessões Temáticas e de outras oportunidades de debate presencial durante o evento.

Bom dia, primeiramente queria agradeçer ao forúm mundial da água por nos disponibilizar a participar das discussões, o que pode nos ajudar a pensar no que estamos fazendo, porque mesmo com o racionamento da água muitas pessoas estão disperdiçando água, talvez com essas discussões aqui as pessoas vejam que se não "cuidarmos" do resto da água que temos ela vai acabar e não vai ter nada que possamos fazer pra reverter a siuação, o que temos que fazer é economizar enquanto temos. Sobreos temas abordados nem todos tem acesso à água segura, ao saneamento e nem saúde o que temos que "dar" um jeito de ajudar quem não tem.

In a country like my own and many other’s sud Saharan country I strongly believes that the quantity of fresh water available is more than enough to supply the entire population but the problems which I think should be tackle during the conference are how to create awareness on the leader’s of those country on the necessity to proper manage the available water resources and how to efficiently construct potable water supply scheme.
thanks
Masroor Ahmad replied:
Dear Aguenkeu
You are spot on that the problem is more of management rather scarcity. I believe that awareness could be one among many tools for better management of available resources but the most appropriate and effective tool is improved water governance (through effective legislations), improved structure of service delivery institutions and effective enforcement of regulation.

Boa noite senhoras e senhores, em minha opnião deveria investir mais em processos de capitação de água, porque tem muita região que chove bastante e acaba sofrendo com a falta de água! Mas queria da os parabéns tambem pelo fato de ter colocado o racionamento , assim a população tenha um pouco mais de noção de o quanto à água e importante!

Dr John Coulter said:
Water availability is governed by the number of people demanding water from a particular source and the size and sustainability of that source. Unless emphasis is placed firmly on limiting human populations through making access to family planning and to contraception then human populations will always tend to outstrip supply. It's not a shortage of water but a longage of people that creates the present dire situation. Unless this element is addressed we are wasting our time with international conferences.

bonjour,
Dr John, certes que la croissance démographique est l'une des causes de pénurie d'eau dans nombreux pays, mais la solution ne résiste pas uniquement dans la limitation des naisances comme tu le propose car il ne faut pas oublier que la croissance démocraphique a son aspect positif pour le développement du pays

Dear Rose,
Dear John,
It is a nice debate going on here! Cases like these bring so much live and sense to our e-room!
I very much agree with Rose's statement. For example, I come from a country (Bulgaria) which population has been constantly shrinking for negative population natural growth rate since early 1980s, topped with intensive emigration rate since mid-1990s. The result is that in 1982 the population was 9 million and today it is about (or even less than) 6 million people.
At the same time the access to and quality of drinking water, and especially to sanitation has not improved, but even got worse especially in rural areas.

Mais do que assegurar a sustentabilidade da água e democratizar o seu acesso por meio da universalização do saneamento básico, torna-se de extrema importância reconhecer a água como um direito fundamental. Além disso, a água deve se manter como um bem público sob responsabilidade do Estado e da sociedade, não podendo ser objeto de especulação financeira e privatização.
Diana Iskreva replied:
Dear Andre,
Welcome to the PEOPLE's e-room! I cannot agree more that access to safe water and sanitation is a fundamental human right! Please, look down through the discussion to read a number of comments and exchange on this topic, and to contact potential collaborators for joint action on water and sanitation as human rights for possible thematic session at the 8th World Water Forum.
Michael Anjello... said:
If we do not waste safe drinking water then it is going to benefit all of us. We can also think of rain water harvesting in each and every house and in institutions. Using nanotechnology we can reduce the evaporation of water and the saved water can be used as safe drining water during summer seasons to some extent.
Efficient usage of water should form one of the agendas in the forum which should be easily understood by the grass root people and illiterate ones.
Diana Iskreva replied:
Dear Michael,
Thank you very much for your contribution!
You are the 1st person to mention "rainwater" in this e-room. Please, will you specify whether you mean usage of rainwater for drinking, sanitation and hygiene or for other purposes?
Michael Anjello... replied:
Dear Diana,
As we all know rainwater is the purest form of water on our earth. It can be used mainly for drinking purposes even after a long period of storage. If it is in excess we can use it for other domestic purposes also.
Best regards.
Truly,
Jothi
Masroor Ahmad said:
I have just use the voting option and must congratulate all who are behind the hard work of compilation and categorization. As we all know water is a complex sector and is becoming more and more a contested commodity due to urbanization, economic boom, climate change and disasters. I am sure discussion must have been made on the role of legislations (policies ad laws), Institutions (from governance to structures and from financing to service delivery) and accountability – but I did not see these in the list. For shared vision, prosperity and equality we must highlight he role of policies, intuitions who are responsible for service delivery and their accountability mechanism.
Diana Iskreva replied:
Dear Masroor,
You are right that the role of legislation was not included in the list of potential session themes for the 8th World Water Forum. It is only for the fact that no one until this week had raised these issues at all in this e-room. As a moderator, I am going to turn the attention of the Thematic Secretariat that a number of participants this week raised already this issue and insisted that it had to become a part of the thematic process priorities.
Thank you for your contribution!

Vote to Choose the Issues to Debate at the 8th World Water Forum.
Why Vote?
Since mid-February this year, people from around the world have contributed to a set of online discussions (called Your Voice) that will help to prepare the 8th World Water Forum in Brasília-Brazil, in 2018.
After 6 weeks of lively debate, 90 water issues have been identified and are now presented for voting at worldwaterforum8.org, in 4 languages.Until April 23, worldwaterforum8.org provides the opportunity for anyone to vote for the issues that should be debated at the 8th World Water Forum.

You are spot on and I would like to draw your attention towards the bigger question of Governance. Right Policies, strong framework and robust monitoring may not (the results of improved WASH situation) if the institutional governance is poor or weak.

Diana Iskreva replied:
Dear Rose,
It is great to meet you here!
Thank you immensely for rasing these very imporant issues! Some of them - e.g. legal framework, were not rasied in this e-room before. I hope, you also visited the Governance e-room where you can also bring out issues for consideration and discussion.
And please, enter the voting page at English - http://www.worldwaterforum8.org/ and vote for the themes you consider most imporant to have sessions on during the 8th World Water Forum, 2018. You may vote under any thematic and cross-cutting theme.
DAUDA I.FIKA said:
The scarcity of water in some part of arid to semi arid regions of north eastern part of Nigeria is forcing people to use any available water regardless of quality, in most of our communities water quality is not considered as an issue.
Hassan Aboelnga replied:
Thanks Dauda for your contribution. I think you mean the camps in this area where more than a million people have been displaced by violence in north-eastern Nigeria, most of them settling in host communities where basic services are scarce. Providing clean water and improved sanitation goes a long way towards protecting the health of children.
It would be great if you give us more insights on this issue
Regards
Diana Iskreva replied:
Dear Dauda,
Your concern is understandable! Do you have information about some links between driking water quality and human health in NE Nigeria? How do you think, the problem could be presented at the 8th World Water Forum?
Shahid Mallick replied:
Hi Diana, Currently I am doing a research on water pollution and public health in Bangladesh and my focus in on a particular riverside people and river name is Bangshi. We are hopeful to share you the findings of the research soon

Caros colegas,
É preciso garantir água limpa para o abastecimento humano - residências, escolas, hospitais - como prioridade sobre qualquer outro uso. A cobrança deve ser aplicada somente aos grandes usuários.
Diana Iskreva replied:
Dear Natalia,
Welcome to the PEOPLE e-room!
Will you, please, explain more about your recommendation. Do you suggest that water has to be provided for free to schools and hospitals? It is not very clear at least from the English translation. As I do not know a word in Portugues, I am using the google translator available with a direct link at the upper left corner of the World Water Forum website. You may decide to do the same to read my reply :-)

Dear John Emilio,
Great that you decided to share this information!
It is a problem, a large problem! And, of course, it is not one simple reason that caused it, and it is not one stakeholder that can solve it! When the official statistics says 12 million inhabitants, they are usually not less than 15... And even 12 million living on a very limited overcrowded area - all with their needs, then - there is usually a problem.
What is your personal opinion? How this problem has to be tackled now and today? Where to start from? Who has to lead the stakeholders in their efforts to identify a sustainable solution?

Dear Prof. Fagundes,
Thank you for your message! I will highlight it to the Forum Secretariat and Forum experts on your request, as I have no means to asure you that these people are reading all the contributions in Your Voice.
As you are based in Brazilia, as far as I understand, you probably will take part in the 2nd Stakeholders' Meeting, 26-27 April, and would also be able to raise your concerns directly there?

O ser humano necessita de água, somos compostos em maioria por ela e a usamos diariamente. Garantir água potável a toda população tem se mostrado um desafio quase impossível, mas tem de ser um esforço que precisamos cumprir. A água é um recurso natural, vital para cada ser humano, é um direito humano ter acesso ao mínimo de água.
