Clean Water Progress is Slow...

Looks like they've just put out a report on the progress we're making in our pursuit of worldwide safe drinking water and sanitation.
Unfortunately, we're not making progress quickly enough to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals set in 2015. Acccording to the latest date, we'll need to see safe drinking water "rates of progress more than triple (increase 3.2-fold) for the coming decade." That doesn't bode well. And things look even bleaker when you realize that 46% of the world doesn't have access to safe sanitation. This is one of humanity's greatest needs and we're falling this far behind? How can this be? Shouldn't our brightest minds - thought leaders and entrepreneurs - be working overtime to come up with innovative solutions for this problem? Has anyone seen any ideas that show promise for meeting these needs?
