HUMANITARIAN WATER
The Necessity of Clean Water
More than one billion people lack access to safe drink worldwide, and for this reason, water borne illness has become the leading cause of death. On any given day, over 50% of the world's hospital beds are occupied by people suffering from water-borne disease*.
The UN predicts that by 2025, 2/3 of the world's population will face periodic and severe water shortage. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes or floods claim most of their victims by dysentery resulting from contaminated water supplies.

Meeting the hydration needs of a population in the wake of a natural disaster or civil disturbance is one of the critical first steps of any response plan.
