India, Singapore win 2014 UN Water for Life award Tokyo: India and Singapore won the 2014 edition of the UN-Water Water for Life Best Practices Award for their sustainable practices of water resources. The award was announced by the United Nations Office during an official UN ceremony in Tokyo to mark World Water Day 2014 Friday. The winners this year are excellent examples of two organizations that tackle future challenges in a sustainable way, said Michel Jarraud, chair of UN-Water at the ceremony held in the United Nations University. This years best water management practices went to the International Water Management Institute (IWMI)-Tata Water Policy Programme (ITP), a project based on water scarce across India. ITP has made progress in filling the gap between research and policy action by simultaneously engaging with scientists and policy makers to tackle the socio-economic environmental challenges related to the improvement of the energy-irrigation nexus, according to the jury.
