The future of water

• On current trends over the next 20 years humans will use 40% more water than they do now.
• An extra US$10 billion each year is needed to reach the target of halving the proportion of people without access to safe water and sanitation
• To reach the water target will require the provision of services to an additional 300,000 people a day over the next decade, requiring current efforts to be stepped up by almost one third.
• To reach the sanitation target means providing services to an additional 450,000 people a day until 2015. This calls for almost a doubling of the current efforts.
