Organizations and their efforts to combat water contamination

1. Here are three key organizations and their efforts to combat water contamination:

1. United Nations (UN)
-UN Water: Coordinates the efforts of various UN agencies on water and sanitation issues. UN Water
promotes sustainable practices and policies, supports the implementation of Sustainable Development
Goal 6 (SDG 6), and works to improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping, and
minimizing the release of hazardous chemicals.

2. World Health Organization (WHO)
- WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality*: Develops and disseminates guidelines to ensure the
safety and quality of drinking water. The WHO conducts research, provides technical support to
countries, and promotes best practices for managing water resources and ensuring safe drinking water
to prevent waterborne diseases and protect public health.

3. World Bank
- Funding and Technical Assistance: Supports projects aimed at improving water supply and sanitation
infrastructure in developing countries. The World Bank provides loans, grants, and technical assistance
to help countries manage their water resources sustainably, reduce water pollution, and build resilient
water systems that can provide safe drinking water to communities.
