WASH ACTION
HAVE NO DRINKING WATER
IN 2024 ON OUR EARTH
In 2024, the water challenge remains one of the most pressing challenges facing the world. With a growing population, rapid urbanization and the effects of climate change increasingly noticeable, sustainable management of water resources has become a top priority for humanity.
Sanitation
Nearly 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with fecal matter, which can lead to life-threatening illnesses.
Hygiene
Around 3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation facilities, which affects their health.
Health
Every day, around 800 children under the age of 5 die from diseases linked to unsafe water.
Access to water
in rural areas
In rural areas, only 1 in 3 people have adequate access to drinking water.
Water stress
More than 2 billion people live in areas where water is either scarce or extremely scarce for at least one month per year.
Water resources management
It is estimated that 2/3 of the world’s rivers are seriously affected by pollution and other human pressures.
Climate change
Climate change is worsening water shortages in many parts of the world by altering precipitation and increasing extreme weather events.
Without it nothing living could exist,
it is the most precious thing in the universe, the most essential material for life!
Sustainable management of water resources is crucial to ensuring food security, social stability, economic prosperity, public health and environmental preservation. If we do not take urgent action to solve water problems, the consequences could be devastating for societies and ecosystems around the world.
It is our responsibility to protect, preserve and manage it sustainably for present and future generations.
