{UAH} WORLD WATER DAY: UNESCO REPORT

"Between 1990 and 2010, 2.3 billion people gained access to improved drinking water sources. This is positive, but not enough. More than 700 million people globally still do not have access to clean and safe water for a healthy life.
The 2016 United Nations World Water Development Report estimates that some 2 billion people require access to improved sanitation, with girls and women especially disadvantaged.

At the same time, demand for water is soaring, especially in emerging economies where agriculture, industry, and cities are developing at a fast pace." - UNESCO.
