Abstract
The world is not on track to meet its goal for ensuring availability and sustainable management of water quality for all—as indicated in United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6). Quality of water crisis continues to be rated as a top global risk considering pollution severity and threat to public health trend in the face of climate change. This chapter highlights the issue of “coordination gaps” in terms of policymaking, pollution prevention technology, financing, monitoring and data management, accountability, risk assessment, and capacity building as a part of water governance for improving water quality. In this context, this chapter attempts to promote policy understanding and coordination at horizontal and vertical level institutions to take risk-informed integrated decision. This chapter also emphasized on science-driven policy solutions and adopting good practices including engagement of public, private, and civil society for reducing water risk and uncertainty at local to global context.
