Accountability from Leadership/Government

There needs to be a fundamental realization from leadership (aka government) in the countries highly affected by "sick water" that they are accountable for the situation.  All the private organizations and NGOs put together will not be able to fix this problem.  In many nations this issue should be priority number one.  With more clean water you will have overall improvements in health, eduction, the economy, quality of life, security, and the list goes on.

There are a variety of technologies that are very effective and ready to go.  But who is going to make it happen?  Without the internal commitment from the leadership in each country it will be an uphill battle.
