The topic of the World Water Day 2021 is the value of water for each of us, namely - the value of water for people is much greater than its price. At the same time, one of the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030 is to provide drinking water to everyone on the basis of "safe management".

Territorial communities, in response to the needs of their residents, ask themselves this question - what should the water supply system look like institutionally? Given the challenges that exist in the water sector of Ukraine, this issue needs to be addressed now.

The live broadcast of the dialogue will be available on Decentralization Facebook page, as well as on Ukrinform news agency Youtube channel.
