The human body is composed of 60% water. Depending on the stage of life, this proportion varies between 50% and 70%. A person can live without drinking water between two and seven days, whereas without food you can get to be between four and six weeks. In such a way that the water it is a well essential and much more important and scarce.

At the same time, climate change and environmental degradation are altering the availability and quality of water, regional and seasonal. Currently, 2,200 million people do not have access to safe drinking water is managed safely, and 4,200 million, or 55% of the world’s population, lack of sanitation is managed safely.
