difficult to say, there is not a lot of potable water around. the purification plant in Khartoum is frequently broken or not working properly because of the frequent power outages. in addition to this the physical delivery infrastructure (pipes etc) is also frequently out. most homes have storage tanks; i remember not having water in the house for 2 weeks and having to wash with bottled water.
in poorer areas or rural areas they don't even have this type of luxury. water is normally well or river water and polluted. they use traditional clay water pots which do filter out a lot of impurities in the water. there is still a lot of cholera and other water borne diseases around.
theoretically in summer due to the heat everyone should be drinking about 8 litres of water a day just to replace what is lost by sweating.

Why do you think the availability of fresh drinking water is such a concern when there is so much water covering the planet?
The reason there is a concern about the availability of fresh drinking water and rightly so, is perhaps because for one thing the water covering the planet is salted and extracting the salt from the water is a costly exercise. Also you should understand that fresh water is not tap water as that water is deadly and polluted. Also the lack f rain fall in some areas will reduce the availability of fresh water, comes from the hills and mountains and flows underground. It is almost impossible to capture this water in its' natural state, which leads me to believe that even bottle water is not fresh water. You can only get FRESH water at the point where it comes out of the ground.
