Why Water is the Big
Issue
� at any given moment almost half the developing world's people are
sick from unsafe water and sanitation.
� lack of water supply and sanitation robs millions of dignity,
energy, and time.
� frequent disease is the main cause of poor growth and early death.
� for a third of the world the real environmental crisis is squalor,
smells and disease on the doorstep.
� half of the developing world�s hospital beds are occupied by
victims of unsafe water and poor sanitation.
