FACT

Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.

At WS&S we strive to ensure as many people, as practical, have access to treated, safe potable water. We are cognizant of the need for sustainable water choices being available. That is why we at WS&S support the many initiatives being rolled out globally by Water.org to supply potable water to under‑developed countries both now and for the future.
