SDG 6 — Clean Water and Sanitation

Clean water and safe sanitation are foundations of health, dignity, education, and thriving communities. SDG 6 is about protecting rivers and groundwater, improving water quality, reducing pollution, ensuring reliable access to safe drinking water, and building sanitation and hygiene systems that work for everyone — including in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. This SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation page on SDG.VISION shares films and stories of practical action — led by young people, communities, engineers, farmers, organisations, and innovators — improving water and sanitation in real life.

If you’re taking action to protect water, improve sanitation, or reduce pollution, your story can inspire others.

What you’ll find on this SDG 6 page

• Short films on water protection, river health, and clean-up action

• Youth-led projects improving water awareness and hygiene

• Community solutions tackling pollution, runoff, and sewage impacts

• Practical innovations in water treatment, reuse, and efficiency

• Stories connecting water to health, nature, climate, and resilience

Why share your clean water story?

Because water solutions are practical — and they spread when people can see them. A short film can:

• help communities copy what works (and avoid what doesn’t)

• strengthen local partnerships across councils, farmers, schools, and groups

• attract volunteers, supporters, and expert input

• raise awareness without blame — and focus on achievable fixes

• celebrate rivers, coastlines, and communities protecting what matters
