Key facts on water in low-income countries

Water safety: arsenic, fluoride, bacteria, and so on
Water scarcity: physical and economic scarcity
Human water consumption: drinking water, hygiene water, sanitation
Legal issue: Drinking water as a human right
Water users: agriculture has highest water demand, industry, and
private water consumption
Water sources: surface water, rainwater, groundwater, or sea water
India as a “hot spot” of physical and economic
water scarcity
