Software packages can extend the concept of mind mapping by allowing individuals to map more than thoughts and ideas with information on their computers and the internet, like spread-sheets, documents, internet sites and images.

The Economic Impacts of Inadequate Sanitation in India

Inadequate sanitation causes India considerable economic losses, equivalent to 6.4 percent of India’s GDP in 2006 at US$53.8 billion, according to The Economic Impacts of Inadequate Sanitation in India, a new report from the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP). The study analysed the evidence on the adverse economic impacts of inadequate sanitation, which include costs associated with death and disease, accessing and treating water, and losses in education, productivity, time, and tourism. The findings are based on 2006 figures, although a similar magnitude of losses is likely in later years.

Health, Dignity and Development: What Will it Take?

The UN Millennium Project Task Force on Water and Sanitation published this extensive report in 2005 with two main aims: First, it highlights which specific policies and resources are needed to meet the MDGs and who needs to take reasonability for ensuring they are in place. And secondly, it identifies the specific policies and resources required to meet the MDGs as part of a larger UN Millennium Project. It also pinpoints actions required in other sectors, emphasising that advances in a number of other areas strongly affect the ability of countries to meet the MDG water and sanitation target (7c) and to optimise water use.
