An American taking a five-minute shower
uses more water than the average person in
a developing country slum uses for an
entire day.
783 million people in the world do not have access to
safe water. This is roughly 11% of the world's
population. (WHO/UNICEF)
Turning off the tap while you brush your teeth
in the morning and before bed, can save up to
8 gallons of water. That adds up to more than
200 gallons a month!
