🌍 Today marks the 17th Anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To mark and observe the day, we have a new Explainer available focusing on Closing the Water Gap: Water, sanitation and hygiene for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities. Access to safe, reliable drinking water is a basic human right, yet many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia continue to face challenges in water security and quality. 💧 Australia's national water quality statistics exclude service providers with less than 10,000 connections, meaning around 8% of the Australian population is excluded from clean water reporting. Addressing this gap is a crucial first step to understanding the specific water needs and capacity of Indigenous communities and investing in fit-for-context technologies. 📖 Learn more about the steps needed to ensure access to clean, reliable water for all in ATSE’s explainer: https://lnkd.in/gsjtSQDm 🔗 Read more in our media release: https://lnkd.in/gxybqc99
