1970 WARNING SIGNSIn 1970, water consumption worldwide was half what is today. With 80% of all sickness in the developing world linked to polluted water, and with populations sharply on the rise, the urgency of water management became apparent.

2003 DRY AND DIRTYOver 1,3 billion people have no access to clean water. At least 2,2 million people die annually from diseases related to poor sanitation and contaminated drinking water –that is about 10,000 deaths from bad water (or no water) each day.
