Affordability of Drinking Water: The Global Picture – Infographic

Here are two hard facts: first, 1 in 9 people around the world still do not have access to safe drinking water, and second, regardless of severe economic disparities between nations, the price of drinking water remains the same.

This infographic maps the globe from the perspective of current costs of drinking water, by comparing each country’s average household income with the cost of a 1.5liter bottle of drinking water.
