The World is already in the throes of a Water Crisis. From South Africa to USA to China, Australia and India, most of the world is facing a huge crisis in the water.
Some 80 percent of the world’s wastewater is dumped—largely untreated—back into the environment, polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans.
This widespread problem of water pollution is jeopardizing our health. Unsafe water kills more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined. Meanwhile, our drinkable water sources are finite: Less of the earths freshwater is actually accessible to us. Without action, the challenges will only increase by 2050, when global demand for freshwater is expected to double.
844 MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD LIVE WITHOUT ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER
Water is a fundamental human need and a driver for sustainable growth, yet water scarcity affects more than 40% of the global population and is projected to rise. While 2.6 billion people have gained access to improved drinking water sources since 1990, yet 844 million people are still struggling with water sources.
Despite there being sufficient fresh water on our planet, millions of people who reside in tough and dry-land conditions are forced to live without it. The majority of those people live in isolated rural areas and spend hours walking to collect and transport water for their families every day. To make matters worse, that water is often unclean and contaminated, leaving people sick with waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid.
