Abstract
Gleick notes that "1.2 billion people live in a life of poverty without access to safe drinking water, and that almost 2.5 billion have no access to proper sanitation." Many in the international water community stress the importance of integrated water-resources management (IWRM) to address these challenges. They argue that this is the most effective means of sustaining economic and social welfare while protecting the health of vital ecosystems. One reaction to this call for more effective management has been the Hydrology for the Environment, Life and Policy initiative, or HELP. HELP has created a framework that enables water-law and policy experts, water-resources managers, and scientists to work together on water-related problems. HELP is a joint initiative of UNESCO and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
