Life in the Year 2070
Life in the Year 2070
"Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans" - Jacques Cousteau
What do you think is the most important thing in your life? Much like the air we breathe every day, many people take clean water for granted and never think about how much we all depend on it for drinking, agriculture, sanitation, and hygiene.
According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), more than 1 billion people – about one in six people in this world – have no access to clean and safe drinking water while over 2 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. The effects of unclean water often lead to an endless cycle of poverty, conflict, disease and death.
If we continue to follow the current trend, by the year 2025 two thirds of the people in this world will not have sufficient access to clean water
