WORLD WATER DAY！！！

WORLD WATER DAY！！！

Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients.

Access to safe drinking water has improved over the last decades in almost every part of the world,

but approximately one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation.

There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and gross domestic product per capita.

However,

some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability.

A report,

issued in November 2009,

suggests that by 2030,

in some developing regions of the world,

water demand will exceed supply by 50%.

Water plays an important role in the world economy,

as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation.

Approximately 70% of the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture.

Clean, safe drinking water is scarce.

Today,

nearly 1 billion people in the developing world don't have access to it.

Yet,

we take it for granted,

we waste it,

and we even pay too much to drink it from little plastic bottles.

Water is the foundation of life.

And still today,

all around the world,

far too many people spend their entire day searching for it.

SAVE WATER ... SAVE WORLD~~~
