This report deals primarily with the analysis of the drinking-water and sanitation situation in the member countries of the Thematic Working Group on Water Sanitation and Hygiene (TWG WSH) based on statistics published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) updated in 2015. This document also provides key information on selected health and development issues for TWG WSH member countries. The member countries covered in this report are: Brunei Darussalam Cambodia China Indonesia Japan the Lao People s Democratic Republic Malaysia Mongolia Myanmar the Philippines the Republic of Korea Singapore Thailand and Viet Nam. Previous documents prepared by WHO for the TWG WSH include extensive analyses of the drinking-water sanitation and hygiene sector as a whole based on country-level information. A key finding of this report is that the TWG WSH region has succeeded in meeting the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target for drinking-water and sanitation which is to halve by 2015 the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking-water and basic sanitation (UN 2017). Individually nine TWG WSH countries achieved the MDG sanitation target but four countries (i.e. Cambodia Indonesia Mongolia and the Philippines) did not. All TWG WSH countries met the MDG drinking-water target except Mongolia which fell short of the target by 13 percentage points. Overall 77% of people in the TWG WSH region are using improved sanitation facilities whereas 94% are using improved drinking-water sources (UNICEF and WHO 2015). Despite an impressive effort made to provide drinking-water and sanitation infrastructure to the residents in this region about one quarter of the population still lacks access to improved sanitation and 7% lacks access to improved drinking-water. Water-related diseases including diarrhoeal diseases are significant causes of death among children under 5 years old in the region. Almost 30 000 people in the TWG WSH region especially children under 5 die each year due to water sanitation and hygiene related diseases (WHO 2014).

As the human population grows-tripling in the past century while, simultaneously, quadrupling its demand for water-Earth's finite freshwater supplies are increasingly strained, and also increasingly contaminated by domestic, agricultural, and industrial wastes. Today, approximately one-third of the world's population lives in areas with scarce water resources. Nearly one billion people currently lack access to an adequate water supply, and more than twice as many lack access to basic sanitation services. It is projected that by 2025 water scarcity will affect nearly two-thirds of all people on the planet. Recognizing that water availability, water quality, and sanitation are fundamental issues underlying infectious disease emergence and spread, the Institute of Medicine held a two-day public workshop, summarized in this volume. Through invited presentations and discussions, participants explored global and local connections between water, sanitation, and health; the spectrum of water-related disease transmission processes as they inform intervention design; lessons learned from water-related disease outbreaks; vulnerabilities in water and sanitation infrastructure in both industrialized and developing countries; and opportunities to improve water and sanitation infrastructure so as to reduce the risk of water-related infectious disease.
