The activities can be within the fields of education and awareness raising, human and international relations, research, water management or water related aid and development activities in developing countries.

What began with the valuable but modest aim of rewarding efforts to safeguard water has grown into one of the world’s most respected and important water prizes, and now celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Water scarcity is a harsh reality that affects billions of people in many parts of the world. Therefore, water development and management must be addressed and changed if we are to reduce the number of undernourished people.

This Policy Brief highlight key facts, conditions and trends regarding water aspects of food production and consumption, and illustrates important policy directions for discussion in the near future.
