It aims to achieve access to safe wa- ter and sustainable and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all, as well as the improvement of water quality by reducing water pollution. According to the UN, at least 1.8 billion people in the world use a drinking water source that is contaminated by feces. Water scarcity also affects more than 40 percent of the global population, and 2.4 billion do not have access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets. (Source: Nature World News)
