Situation of water access in the world

Figures show an important water crisis : 1,1 billion people live with no access to drinking water. The purification situation is dramatic. More than 2 out of 6 people have inadequate access to sanitation, in other words 2,6 billion people. 3900 children die each day from water-related diseases (WHO 2004)

There are important inequalities in water usage. In North America and in Japan, water use per person per day in residential areas is 350 litres. In Europe the figure is 200 litres per person per day, compared with 10-20 litres in sub-saharan Africa.
