Access To Water Quotes

• El agua es una de las necesidades más básicas: no podemos vivir más de unos días sin ella. Sin embargo, la mayoría de la gente da el agua por sentada. La malgastamos innecesariamente y no nos damos cuenta de que el agua limpia es un recurso muy limitado. Más de 1.000 millones de personas en todo el mundo no tienen acceso a agua potable segura y limpia, y más de 2.500 millones no disponen de un servicio de saneamiento adecuado. Más de 2 millones de personas mueren cada año a causa del agua insalubre, ¡y la mayoría son niños!

Water is a human right, an enabling right, not a mere commodity.
