Facts about water pollution

More than 5 million people die each year from drinking contaminated water. 

90% of the water consumed by the world population comes from groundwater. 

One liter of car oil and four liters of paint penetrate the earth, contaminating one million liters of drinking water.

Four liters of gasoline spilled on the ground contaminate three million liters of water. 

Almost 2 billion people on the planet don't have access to drinking water and with the progressive contamination of water it will be increasingly difficult to obtain it, also in developed countries.



Diseases caused by contaminated water have killed more human beings throughout history than any war. 

Even today almost 5 million people die every year in the world because of contaminated water, most of them, if not 99%, in the so-called underdeveloped countries.

These data stir… what do you plan to do?

  1. It's really sad all this, and even if we take measures like closing the key, etc., I think the real problem is in the big companies that pollute the water for example Coca Cola so I would recommend further research and stop consuming their products that are bad for your health. 😩

  2. It is very unfortunate what we have caused, now we have to change, saving water, and separating garbage, reusing things that can be done, reforesting and taking care of the planet.
