Waste Water dumped in open lots and directly applied to crops is creating serious health problems throughout developing nations

  • Over 1 billion people (almost 1 in 6 people in the world) do not have access to safe drinking water.
     
  • 2.5 billion people (over 1/3 of the world’s population) do not have access to basic sanitation.
     
  • About 90 per cent of sewage and 70 per cent of industrial wastes in developing countries are discharged into waterways without treatment, often polluting the usable water supply.
     
  • People living in the slum areas of developing cities may only have 1 to 2 gallons of water per person/day at their disposal.
