FACT  SHEET    

• 1  out  of  every  6  people  in  the  world  live  in  extreme  poverty,  and  most  of  them  lack  the  most  basic  resource  to  survive,  clean  water  (WHO-­‐UNICEF,  2004)    

• At  any  time,  all  over  the  world,  half  of  the  world’s  hospital  beds  are  occupied  by  those  who  have  a  disease  due  to  drinking  dirty  water  (WSCC,  2004).    

• 75%  of  Americana  are  chronically  dehydrated.  It  is  probable  that  similar  percentages  apply  to  90%  of  the  world’s  population  (Statistical  Abstract  of  the  U.S.,  1986).    

• Americans  drink  more  than  1  billion  gallons  of  water  per  day,  while  at  the  same  time  over  1  billion  people  in  the  world  do  not  have  access  to  safe  drinking  water  (Statistical  Abstract  of  the  U.S.,  1986).    

• 3.41  million  people  die  from  water,  sanitation  and  hygiene-­‐related  causes  each  year  (WHO,  2008).    

• An  American  taking  a  five-­‐minute  shower  uses  more  water  than  the  average  person  in  a  developing  country  slum  uses  for  an  entire  day  (UNDP,  2006).    

• The  water  and  sanitation  crisis  claims  more  lives  through  disease  than  any  war  claims  through  guns  (UNDP,  2006).    

• There  are  1.6  million  deaths  per  year  attributed  to  dirty  water  and  poor  sanitation  (WHO  2008).    

• The  average  American  household  consumes  about  127,400  gallons  of  water  during  a  year.  Homeowners  in  Washington,  DC,  pay  about  $350  for  that  amount  of  water.  Buying  that  same  amount  of  water  from  a  vendor  in  Guatemala  City  would  cost  more  than  $1,700  (Resource  Action  Program  “Water  Prices  Rising  Worldwide”,  2007).    

• Over  40  billion  work  hours  are  lost  each  year  in  Africa  to  the  need  to  fetch  drinking  water.  (WHO,  2004)    

• In  the  past  ten  years,  diarrhea  related  to  unsanitary  water  has  killed  more  children  than  all  the  people  lost  to  armed  conflict  since  WWII.  (WSSCC,  2004)    

• 90  percent  of  wastewater  in  developing  countries  is  discharged  into  rivers  and  streams  without  any  treatment.  (UNDP,UNEP,World  Bank,  and  the  World  Resources  Institute,  "World  Resources  2000-­‐2001,"  pg.  25-­‐26)
