The water we drink today is the same water the dinosaurs drank millions of years ago. There is no new water.
Thousands year ago people believed water is one of the holy elements in our earth, but now we destroy it.
One billion people around the world have no access to clean water; It means one of six people. 80% of diseases in the developing countries are caused by contaminated water. In china, India, and Indonesia more people get sick of water than HIV. More than adults children die of disease caused by contaminated water for example just in Africa 10000 kids die every day.
Economically water crises effects on people economy. Women in Africa walk six kilometers to take the water to their home every day. At the same time we use water 100 to 175 gallons per day in the U.S when in the developing countries the average is 2.64. Forty million hours are wasted in Africa from women and children gathering water for household.
