The water crisis is a health crisis. Nearly 1 million people die each year from water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases which could be reduced with access to safe water or sanitation. Our water resources face a host of serious threats, all of which are caused primarily by human activity. They include sedimentation, pollution, climate change, deforestation, landscape changes, and urban growth. As a result, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water and a total of 2.7 billion people will find water scarce for at least one month of the year. By 2025, two-thirds of the world's population may face water shortages. And ecosystems around the world will suffer even more.
