In conjunction with World Water Day, which is celebrated on March 22nd every year, this morning we take a look at a crucial aspect of the battle against the coronavirus: access to clean water. To do this, we speak to former Minister of Water, Land, and Natural Resources, Dr. Xavier Jayakumar, who has also been a consistent advocate of these issues, for a sense of the situation on the ground, as well as the challenges in maintaining the national water supply.
