Water pollution is one of the largest problems in the world, with over half of people facing water shortages daily. Clean drinking water is essential for survival but is lacking for many, as people in parts of Africa and China do not even have access to unpolluted water. Water pollution not only threatens human access to water but also kills animals and plants. While some cities have helped by repairing pipes to reduce waste, water pollution remains a serious global issue.
