Water is the basis of life on

earth.
Water makes up:

You can almost stay alive a month

without food.

But, your body cant survive

one week without water.

Water Quality
Poor water quality affects the
environment and human wellbeing
Less than one percent of the
worlds fresh water (about 0.007%
all water) on Earth is readily
accessible for direct human use
Clean water is life, and our lives depend on how
we protect the quality of our water.

Water Pollution
The quality of water resources is increasingly
threatened by pollution
Every day, 2 million tons of sewage and other
effluents drain into the worlds waters
It is estimated that over 2.5 billion people
globally live without adequate sanitation
Preventing water contamination is typically
cheaper than cleaning up water after
contamination.

Do you Know?
Millions of people in the world live on less than 3
gallons of water each day
1 in 5 person dont have access to safe drinking water

According to U.N., a child dies from a water-related

disease in every 15 seconds

Continued
Around 3.5 million people die each year from water-related
diseases, and of 43% are due to diarrhoea
About 84% of water related deaths are of children between
the ages of 0-14 years
A majority of water-related deaths (about 98%) occur in the
developing world
At any given time, more than half of the poor in developing
world are ill from causes related to hygiene, sanitation and
water supply
About 1.4 million children die as a result of diarrhoea
