-More than 80% of waste water resulting from human activity is discharged into rivers or sea without any pollution removal 
-Not enough water resources in the country for everyone to have safe water
-Environmental issues like storm water for example can be a cause for the lack of access to safe water. Storm water is when it rains and the water goes to local water ways which contaminates our water resource]]> 2017-04-20 14:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/068708643/3zgi42sbur7t/wish/167264590 068708643 https://padlet.com/068708643/3zgi42sbur7t/wish/167265502 -Each day nearly 1,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitation-related diseases

We can also help by building wells and providing small loans to people that are in need of proper sanitation like toilets. If people were better educated about how to provide help then there is a better chance to achieving this goal. This simple solution will help limit diseases and deaths, it will provide access to clean water and proper sanitation, and it will get more people involved to achieve a global goal. I think all these solutions will provide lots of help to eventually acheive our global goal.]]> 2017-04-24 18:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/068708643/3zgi42sbur7t/wish/167937109
