ACCESS WATER AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY FROM HOPE TO ACTION
SCARCE. FRESH WATER
IS BECOMING
1 in 8 people lack access to clean water
More people die from lack of clean water and
sanitation each year than are killed by all forms of
violence, including war
By 2030, the global NEED for water will exceed the
global SUPPLY of water by 40 percent
WHY WATER?
Approximately 40% of all rivers in the U.S. and 46%
of all lakes have become so polluted that they are
no longer fit for human use
GLOBALLY
EVEN IN THE U.S.
California only has 20 years of fresh water left
Awareness . Advocacy . Action .

WHY GANGES?
400 million residents rely on the Ganges for water, food, bathing, and worship
In 2007, the Ganges was rated one of the top 5 most polluted rivers in the world
One segment of the river was found to contain fecal coliform levels over 100 times the
official limits set by the Indian government
Water shortages have a major impact on the human and animal inhabitants along the
river, with the average depth in some areas diminishing from 60 down to 10 meters deep
Pollution not only threatens humans, but also 140 fish species, 90 amphibians and the
Ganges Dolphin or the Blind Dolphin
