3. MORE THAN 2/3 OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE IS COVERED BY WATER.
• The majority of that—97.5%—is salt water, leaving only 2.5% as fresh water.
• Nearly 70% of the fresh water is frozen in the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland.
That means less than 1% of the water supply on earth can be used as drinking water.
• This 1% is the water found in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and those underground aquifers
that can be tapped at an affordable cost. Only this amount is regularly renewed by
precipitation and is therefore available on a sustainable basis.
1.1 BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO
SAFE DRINKING WATER. THAT’S ROUGHLY 20% OF THE WORLD’S
POPULATION. MOST OF THE WORLD’S PEOPLE MUST WALK AT
LEAST 3 HOURS TO FETCH WATER.
• 2.4 billion people worldwide lack access to adequate sanitation services
• Nearly 5,000 children die every day from diseases associated with unsafe water
and poor sanitation and hygiene.
• Unsafe water and poor sanitation also cause an estimated 80 per cent of all

cooking, cleaning and hygiene. One flush of a Western toilet uses as much water as
the average person in the developing world uses for a whole day.
• 340 billion gallons of water are used every day in the United States. This total
includes water used in irrigation, in industry, and in fire fighting and street cleaning.
