The Reality:
• 4,000 children die each day due to water-borne diseases.
• 1.1 billion people live with out clean drinking water.
• 2.6 billion people lack access to healthy sanitation.
• 3.5 million people die each year from water-related disease.
• Soil erosion and the loss topsoil due deforestation is a major issue.
• Industrial agriculture and food production are taxing and poisoning our water supplies.
