Why the world needs water that is clean and affordable
For the last three years, I have chaired the Customer Challenge Group for a regional water company in the UK (South East Water) so, more than ever, I have been aware that clean and affordable water is vital to all communities both in the UK and around the world.
But, according to the latest IFC figures:
- 2.5 billion people are without safe sanitation
- about 768 million people still lack access to clean drinking water
- roughly 3.5 million people die annually from water-related diseases
How can this be changed? You’ll find a good article on the subject here.
