A woman collecting the
UN-recommended amount of 50 litres
per person for her family of four from
a water source 30 minutes away would
spend two and a half months a year
on this task.
17 crore people in India do not have access to clean water close to home (defined as more than 30 min of round trip to fetch water). This is the largest population of any country in the world without nearby access to safe water.
The country after India with most number of people without access to safe water is Ethiopia, with 6 crore people in this category. But China has 6 crore people too without access of clean water close to home, and Pakistan, 2 crores. All the rest of the countries in the top ten list are from Africa, apart from Indonesia.
Although both China and India provided access to clean water to humongous numbers of their people since the year 2000 : 33 crores in China, and 30 crores in India. Even Pakistan and Bangladesh provided access to large numbers of people with clean water near their homes, since the year 2000 : 4 and 3 crores respectively.

I seriously love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme.
ReplyDeleteDid you create this web site yourself? Please reply
back as I'm wanting to create my very own website and would like to learn where you got this from
or what the theme is called. Thanks!
I believe everything published made a bunch of
ReplyDeletesense. However, what about this? what if you added
a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to
run your blog, but suppose you added something to possibly
get a person's attention? I mean "17 crores without safe water.." is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they
write news titles to get viewers to click. You might add a related
video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about everything've got to say.
Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
