According to the UNEP report, more than half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by people struggling with illnesses linked to contaminated water.
2.2 million people whose deaths are attributed to diarrhea, mostly from dirty water, and 1.8 million children aged under five who succumb to water-borne diseases. This equates to one infant every 20 seconds.
Dirty water is killing more people than wars and other violence, the United Nations announced on World Water Day.
People seem to think that the world has so much water that it will NEVER run out. This may be true in a way BUT .. CLEAN water WILL run out if we don't do something about it! th world is expected to rise from 6 billion people to 9 billion people by 2050. Earth is entirely too populated so therefore our resources are scarce.
we dont know what we've got until its gone.
think about this when you're taking you 20 minute showers!
