  • We could manage with less water.

  • World problems are often caused by lack of water.

  • Many diseases are carried by water.

  • Access to clean water is directly linked to longevity.

  • More people are killed by water-borne diseases than die prematurely for any other reason - including wars and famine.

  • Our demand for water is so great that water companies are draining rivers to cope.
