Water is not only linked to all our activities, but it is also a fundamental part of climate change.

According to the WHO, a person uses an average of 100 liters of water a day to meet their needs; as the population increases, the need for water increases. Despite this need, it is a reality that access to water is not equitable for everyone.

In 2019, the WHO and UNICEF reported that 2.2 billion people did not have access to drinking water around the world, while by 2040 the Aquae Foundation projects that a water deficit of 70% will be reached, affecting regions of Australia, Peru and the Philippines among many others.

Did you know that unsafe water and poor sanitation are the main causes of infant mortality?

According to the UN, 1.5 million children under 5 years of age die annually in developing countries due to childhood diarrhea attributed to water scarcity, consumption of contaminated water, lack of hygiene and inadequate sanitation (latrines) .

For years, different organizations have highlighted the issue of water. In 2018, the International Decade for Action "Water for Sustainable Development" was decreed, which runs from 2018 to 2028 and highlights the human right to water, highlighting that the scarcity of this vital liquid can slow down the progress of humanity in the future.
