Answer:

What is water security?

The United Nations Water (UN-Water) defines water security as: “The capacity of a population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water for sustaining livelihoods, human well-being, and socio-economic development, for ensuring protection against water-borne pollution and water-related disasters, and for preserving ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability.”

When discussing water security it can be easy to think of it as a set of rules or guidelines that countries should be adhering to keep their water safe and secure. In reality, this is not the case. The idea of water security is that it is achievable through mass collaboration from every country, industry and sector in the hopes the one day we can have water security.  

Water security at its core is the idea that there is enough clean water to meet current and future demand for human well-being and social-economic development while ensuring the safeguarding of the environment and reducing the risk of pollution and water-based diseases.  

It also seeks to establish good governance of water and transboundary co-operation from countries that share a water source. Water security also looks to exempt itself from human conflicts to ensure that our global water infrastructure is never compromised and that there is enough finance to allow for development and innovation.  

In truth, the concept of water security is extremely broad and is designed to cover everything about water in regards to how we use it, how we manage it and how we ensure that there will still be acceptable water in enough quantities for years to come – which is where smart water comes into play.
