The World Water Quality Alliance (WWQA) is a global effort to improve access to safe, clean water for everyone. The Alliance is an informal network of members from local communities, NGOs, supranational and national administrations, farmers, fisheries, water authorities and other related stakeholders. WWQA serves as a platform to discuss and share information on various topics such as water quality science and technology, best practices, data collection and analysis, among others. Through this platform, members are able to collaborate to influence policies and promote sustainable development.
Universal membership is open to any organization related to water determined that everyone in the world will have access to safe and clean water. This could be done through government subsidies, the creation of water accessible locations, and improved water infrastructure. Allowing people to have access to clean water will have great implications for public health and the economy. It would also lead to better resource management and responsible environmental practices.
