Nearly one billion people in the developing world don’t have access to safe drinking water
Water is a basic necessity for life, unfortunately, in 2021 many people spend their entire day searching for clean drinking water and in some cases are unsuccessful and have to use contaminated water sources.
In the third world people spend a huge amount of time on a daily basis searching and collecting water, in some cases the water is contaminated, and most of the time women and children spend hours in a day to collect water. Children are not getting educated due to the time spent in search of water, and the only way to break the cycle of poverty is education, they are stuck in a vicious cycle.
Due to the water scarcity people are suffering from water borne diseases, according to the WHO
contaminated water can transmit diseases such diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrheal deaths each year.
Water scarcity does not mean no available water, but it refers to the lack of water availability or its limited access. Since the last few decades rate of water consumption has been increased tremendously across the globe. People lack access to clean water for several reasons, drought, oppression, and a lack of infrastructure.
Standing at the 30th position among the most water-deficient countries of the world Pakistan is heading towards a major water crisis. Safe drinking water is one of Pakistan’s most immediate and crucial problems that demands immediate attention. In the deserts of Thar, accessing clean safe drinking water is one of the biggest challenges faced by the local communities.
