千年发展目标（MDGs）已经超过了2015年的目标年，接下来是可持续发展目标（SDGs）。千年发展目标之一是将无法持续获得安全饮用水的人口减半。这是在国际商定的全球饮用水目标的漫长历史中实现的第一个目标。然而，简化的监测指标可能会导致错误的结论，即千年发展目标关于“安全”饮用水的具体目标实际上已经实现。我们表明，实现千年发展目标的主要贡献者是中国和印度，并且在1990-2015年期间，大多数国家获得改善水源的人口比例的增加与经济发展密切相关。我们预计，在当前的可持续发展目标6.1中，饮用水获取与经济发展之间的协同关系将始终适用于大多数国家，该目标旨在为所有人提供安全和负担得起的饮用水。
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have passed their target year of 2015 and are followed by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the MDG targets was halving the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water. It was the first target achieved in the long history of internationally agreed global targets on drinking water. However, a simplified monitoring indicator could have led to the mistaken conclusion that the MDG target on 'safe' drinking water had actually been achieved. We show that the major contributors to the achievement of the MDG target were China and India and that the increase in the percentage of population with access to improved sources was closely associated with economic development in most nations during 1990-2015. We expect that a synergetic relationship between drinking water access and economic development will be consistently true for most nations in the current SDG Target 6.1, which aims to secure safe and affordable drinking water for all.
