The 6th World Water Forum in Marseilles was “Time for solutions” to improve governance, financial cooperation and institutional arrangement of the water related sector. More than ever, we must be the actors of the secured development of the world.

The theme of the 2012 World Water Day “Water and Food Security” helped us to understand that the scarcity of water resources could threaten the survival of the planet’s seven billion inhabitants. The water footprint thus appears as an important component to suppress the prevailing food crisis in some countries.

What are we waiting for to reverse the trend following the relevant analyzes resulting from these three events? After the Industrial Revolution, the Digital Revolution, can one start to dream of a possible Water Revolution?

It is now the time for our “civilizing” mission to supply with drinking water the whole world population and more particularly the Africans among whom the “water gap” is striking. Our determination to achieve this noble task will help us to bring changes and subsequently to show that we can exorcise the fate Africa is so often confined in.

Let us dream of an African continent where everyone benefits from this basic right regarding the access to drinking water. The Water Revolution count-down is on.
