A Global Water Crisis

According to the World Health Organization, it estimates that globally, at least 1.8 billion people use a contaminated drinking-water source and by 2025 half of the world's population will be living in water-stressed areas due to climate change, increasing water scarcity, population growth, demographic changes and urbanization.

Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery and typhoid. Diarrhea is the most widely known disease linked to contaminated food and water, causing 502,000 deaths each year. With access to improved water sources, deaths from diarrhea of 361,000 children under the age of 5 could be avoided annually.
