According to the World Health Organisation in 2006 13% of the world's population still did not have access to safe drinking water or 887,000,000 people. This is an improvement since 1990 when 1,600,000,000 did not have access to safe water. Only about half the world's population can turn on a tap in their homes.

Answer2: In the last five years,, some 20 million children have died of preventable waterborne diseases, and hundreds of millions of people continue to live with the daily misery of squalor associated with lack of clean drinking water and adequate sanitation.

Approximately 785 million people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water sources. This lack of access contributes to waterborne diseases and other health issues, particularly in developing countries. Efforts are being made to improve access to clean water through various initiatives and partnerships.
