About This Project
This project was made possible by
generous
funding from Kenneth E. Behring,
founder of the Global Health and Education
Foundation
The Global Health and Education Foundation
strives to advance the health and well-being of the world by improving access
to clean water, public health and primary care, basic education, and economic
development opportunities. The Global Health and Education Foundation’s
inaugural operating foundation, WaterLeaders, is dedicated to alleviating the
safe drinking water crisis. For more information, please visit www.waterleaders.org.
The “Safe Water is Essential” web site is a
production of the National Academy of Sciences’ Koshland Science Museum, in
cooperation with the Water Science and Technology Board and the Office of
International Programs.
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academies
Since 1863, the nation's leaders have often
turned to the National Academies for advice on the
scientific and technological issues that frequently pervade policy decisions.
The National Academy of Sciences, an honorific society of distinguished scholars
engaged in scientific and engineering research, is dedicated to furthering
science and technology for the general welfare. Visit www.national-academies.org
for more information. For information on the Water Science and Technology
Board, visit www.dels.nas.edu/wstb.
For information on the Office of International Programs, please visit http://www.nap.edu/gateway/pga.
The National Academy of Sciences works with other science academies of the world, through the Interacademy Panel on International Issues (IAP). The Chair of the IAP Water Program, Professor Jose Galizia Tundisi, from the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, has provided input and review for this project.
Marian Koshland Science Museum
The Marian Koshland Science Museum presents the
complexities of current science in an engaging and accessible way to the
general public through interactive, state-of-the-art exhibits. The museum
explores current scientific issues at the core of many of the nation's public
policy decisions, as presented in reports by the National Academies. For more
information, please visit www.koshland-science.org.
