title: From vision to action after the second world water forum.
abstract: The World Commission for Water in the 21st Century set out the vision of a "water secure world" and suggested a comprehensive set of measures to achieve this aim. Criticism of the role of water pricing in these measures underestimates the strength of its case in environmental, financial, economic, social, political and ethical terms. The Framework For Action has been devised as a guide for local action, but the proposal for a Water Innovation Fund may have particular impact.
