Global water withdrawal and consumption 2014-2040
Water accessibility
A vast number of people worldwide still lack access to drinking water sources, while an even larger population has no access to improved sanitation services. In India, over 75.8 million people have no household access to a safe water source. Striving to provide safe water access to these remaining population groups would likely also increase domestic water demand as well as the energy and infrastructure that would need to be put in place to provide these basic needs.
