Abstract

Water is essential to human life and enterprise, and the increasing strains on available water resources threaten the mission of institutions dedicated to economic development. Th e ultimate goal is to achieve a sustainable balance between the resources available and the societal requirement for water.

In this evaluation the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) examines all the water-related projects fi nanced by the World Bank between fi scal 1997 and the end of calendar 2007. Bank activities related to water are large, growing, and integrated. Th ey include water resources management, water supply and sanitation, and activities related to agricultural water, industrial water, energy generation, and water in the environment.
