Badly managed infrastructure will do little to improve peoples’ health or support economic growth, so water development and water management must go hand in hand. Water infrastructure can and must be developed in parallel with sound institutions, good governance, great attention to the environment, and an equitable sharing of costs and benefits.
成功增加水利基础设施投资的关键是同时增加对水利机构的投资。管理不善的基础设施对改善人们的健康或支持经济增长毫无益处，因此，水利开发和水利管理必须齐头并进。水利基础设施能够而且必须与完善的机构、良好的管理、对环境的关注以及公平分担管理成本、享受管理效益实现同步发展。
