6.1

By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all


6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations


Potential Solution:

Individual-level: Homemade composting toilets


6.3

By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally



6.4 By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity


Potential Solutions:

Government-Level: Ban the construction, remodeling of, and sale of toilets that are high-water-use. Give incentives for people to remodel bathrooms for low-water-use toilets.

Government-Level: Require all sewer/water systems in the Sun Belt to recycle water

Educate people on water recycling and why it’s not gross

Build a massive city outside the frost belt but in close distance to water resources.


6.5

By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate

6.6

By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes

6.a

By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies

6.b

Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management
