Water and Sanitation
Humans cannot live without water. It is said that every child needs a minimum of 2 liters of water a day in order to live. In developing countries, people have to draw water from a river, lake or well. It is sometimes polluted which causes people to get sick. According to a study, almost 4000 children die due to water contamination every day. Clean water supply is a basic need, but it is a luxury in some places around the world. Access to clean water is essential to healthy living so conserving it is important.
