Sustainability Plans Must Address Water Management

The essence of a Green Plan is the comprehensive management of resources for the benefit of the environment, economy and society as a whole. Water, the most fundamental of resources, is low on the political radar around the world but it is a major reason for conflicts. Climate change and overpopulation are driving the devastation that includes catastrophic floods and droughts. This week the World Water Forum sponsors a meeting of heads of state, environment and development ministers to prepare a list of recommendations. RRI also is working to raise consciousness about the impact of water quantity and quality on wildlife, especially here in the U.S., and the impact of poor or failed water policies on the economy.
