British poet W. H. Auden once noted, “Thousands have lived without love, not one without
water.” Yet while we all know water is crucial for life, we trash it anyway. Some 80 percent
of the world’s wastewater is dumped—largely untreated—back into the environment,
polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans.

This widespread problem of water pollution is jeopardizing our health. Unsafe water kills
more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined. Meanwhile, our
drinkable water sources are finite: Less than 1 percent of the earth’s freshwater is actually
accessible to us. Without action, the challenges will only increase by 2050, when global
demand for freshwater is expected to be one-third greater than it is now.
