Even low sodium levels in drinking water can be harmful. However, our review of 197 countries' guidelines, led by Juliette Crowther & Jacqui Webster, found most are based on taste, not health. This change needs to be pushed! (Yes, that's a Salt-N-Pepa reference!) #waterinsecurity

Last year, SUMERNET Young Professionals hosted a webinar in #LaoPDR to explore the link between #ClimateChange and #WaterInsecurity in the #MekongRegion, where water sustains over 70% of the population.

Revisit their insights and ideas for change here:

#WaterInsecurity in action today in my home county. Two weeks ago we had a catastrophic water main break (under a parkway!). Temporary measures including tanker trucks, bottled water, and a temporary line were implemented. Today the new main is being connected!
