4 Billion People Worldwide Lack Access to Safe Drinking Water, Study Finds
More than half of people on Earth — approximately 4 billion— lack access to safe drinking water, which is double the number estimated in 2020, a new study by REACH global research program has found.
Launched by University of Nairobi and University of Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment in 2015, REACH focuses on the improvement of Africa and South Asia’s water security for the poor.
