YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Water is one of the planet's most precious resources. Yet the UN estimates that at least two out of every three people in Sub-Saharan Africa do not consistently have access to safe drinking water. And three out of four are without access to safely- managed sanitation.

Among the effects, nations have lost about five percent of their gross domestic product (GDP) in recent years. The UN says that fixing the problem would be a worthy investment, costing only one to four percent of GDP.

How do we preserve it, and can we make sure there is enough of it for our future generations?
