"Water is foundation of life"
Now a Days safe and clean water is big issue all over the world our surface contain 70 percent
of water but in my point of view above 80 percent people bear lace of safe and clean water.
·
Only 0.5% of the world's water resources are
available to provide for the freshwater needs of our planet's ecosystem and
population. Water is not distributed evenly around the globe. Less than 10
countries possess 60% of the world's available freshwater supply.
·
1.8
billion people(1) still lack access to
fresh water supply and 2.5 billion people need improved sanitation. Since 1940
the world's water use has quadrupled whilst the world's population has only
doubled.
·
In
60% of the European cities with more than 100,000 people, groundwater is being
used much faster than it can be replenished. At the same time, aging water
networks systems waste more than 40% of water supply through leaks and cracks.
Billions of people daily going to home just search of water.
many developed countries face lack of water

- An estimated 250,000 children in Pakistan under the age of 5 years die every year due to water borne diseases.

INDIA
India has the world's highest number of people without access
to clean water—imposing a major financial burden for some of the country's
poorest people, according to a report released Tuesday.
The international charity Water Aid says 75.8 million
Indians—or 5 percent of the country's 1.25 billion population—are forced to
either buy water at high rates or use supplies that are contaminated with
sewage or chemicals. That accounts for more than a tenth of the 650 million
people worldwide without clean water access—more than any single country in
Africa or China, where 63 million have no access.
CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION

become a growing concern over the last century as more and more waste is being
disposed of in our oceans, rivers and lakes.This increase in pollution is
harming our food supplies, drinking water and environment.It is also creating
issues in the oceans ecosystem and hurting the animals and plant life that rely
