Only 1 percent of the world's fresh water is readily available for human use. Currently 700 million people in 43 countries face water stress and by 2030 around 40 percent of population will face water shortages. Given these challenges, the implementation of water efficient projects that combine nature conservation elements with making water available where there is a need is critical. This video profiles cases of Brazil and Viet Nam where World Bank implemented water projects. Video is narrated by Ron Parker, Author of the Independent Evaluation Group's (IEG) study on Water and Development: Evaluation of World Bank Support (1997-2007).
