3.3 Some Important Water Facts in Nutshell

  • More than one billion people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water - i.e. around 1/6th of the world's population
  • Five million people, mostly children, die each year from waterborne disease
  • In the past 10 years diarrhoea has killed more children than all the people lost to armed conflict since World War II
  • At any one time, approximately half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from waterborne disease
  • Diarrhoea kills over three million people per year and chronic diarrhoea is a leading killer of people with AIDS
  • The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 km
  • The average weight of water that women in Africa and Asia carry on their heads can be anything up to 20kg - the equivalent of your airport luggage allowance!
  • One of the Millennium Development Goals of the UN is: "By 2015, reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water"
  • The WHO default levels for the quantities of drinking water are:

      *litre water/day for a 10 kg child
      *litre water/day for a 60 kg adult
