UN SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT GOAL 6: SANITATION & CLEAN WATER

Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in and there is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. However, due to bad economics or poor infrastructure, millions of people including children die every year from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.

Water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world. At the current time, more than 2 billion people are living with the risk of reduced access to freshwater resources and by 2050, at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected by chronic or recurring shortages of fresh water. Drought in specific afflicts some of the world’s poorest countries, worsening hunger and malnutrition. Fortunately, there has been great progress made in the past decade regarding drinking sources and sanitation, whereby over 90% of the world’s population now has access to improved sources of drinking water.

To improve sanitation and access to drinking water, there needs to be increased investment in management of freshwater ecosystems and sanitation facilities on a local level in several developing countries within Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia and South-Eastern Asia.

Closer to home, Wealden District Council failed to properly assess the situation regarding the last surviving well in Herstmonceux that provides drinking water to this location as part of an industrial unit dating from 1909, part of an English Heritage, (now Historic England) monument protection programme. This council also got it wrong when it came to flooding at the other end of a field, flooding that is likely to lead to raw sewage finding its way onto the land and into private ponds that cannot cope with any additional flow. See the picture of the peaceful protest billboard above making reference to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and Hinkley in California, as portrayed in the Hollywood film: Erin Brockovich.

Then there are the potholed roads that cannot cope safely with additional traffic and a very poor site access that is substandard in terms of visibility splay.

Village over development like this is destroying the English charm that is unique and gives us our sense of national identity. The reason why councils are cutting corners like this is to grab extra rates and community infrastructure levies to boost flagging incomes to counter long term mismanagement.
