What is the Solution(s)?According to Prof. Brent Haddad of the University of California the WHO and UNEP has failed (30 year old model) because:
• Developing countries lack the expertise and funds to run a system
• Countries have no way to make people pay their water bills
• Foreign aid is often inadequate and frequently dissipates before it reaches its intended destination
• Cities refuse to expand services outside their borders
• Insufficient political commitment at all levels
• Rampant corruption

What is the Solution(s)?
The World Commission on Water for the 21st Century suggests:
• Governments must radically rethink their policies on clean water.
• Government must double its investment in water supply to $180bn with a focus on sustainable use of water.
• Let private sector take the lead in improving clean water and supplies.
• Scrap water subsidies that encourage waste.
• Establish water innovation funds to foster smart ideas for water technology.
