Global Waters

USAID's global water security, sanitation, and hygiene knowledge portal

USAID envisions a water secure world--where people have sustainable supplies of water to meet human, economic, and ecosystem needs, while managing the risks and vulnerabilities associated with climate change and conflict. The Agency’s investments in water security under the U.S. Global Water Strategy are critical to advance health, prosperity, stability, and resilience in the places they are needed most. USAID helps partner countries plan, finance, and deliver safe water and sanitation services for the neediest, while sustainably managing water resources.
