Our planet is covered by 71% water, yet less than 2 percent is stored as fresh and groundwater of which less than 1/3 is safe to drink and the figure is declining. Every day, 2 million tons of sewage, industrial and agricultural waste is discharged into the world’s water, the equivalent of the weight of the entire human population of 6.8 billion people.
The UN estimates that the amount of wastewater produced annually is about 1,500 km3, six times more water than exists in all the rivers of the world. Lack of adequate sanitation contaminates our water sources and is one of the most significant forms of water pollution.
