Water Integrity Network Photo Competition Winners Announced
The winners of the Water Integrity Network photo competition have been announced - congratulations to Mohammed Shajahan for this winning photo of a water vendor in Chittagong, Bangladesh!
The top images of this year’s competition on corruption and integrity in urban water and sanitation emphasize these concerns. They mostly show the impact of poor integrity, poor planning, and laissez-faire. They show inequality and the vulnerability of many to crises, runaway pollution, and climate change, especially in dense urban areas and informal settlements. Nearly 7 out of 10 people will live in urban areas by 2050. As the urban population booms, it is a major, and urgent, challenge to ensure provision of sustainable water and sanitation services and to realise the human rights to water and sanitation for all.
