Targets by 2030 You
Access to safe drinking water is
1. Access safe drinking abundant in Adelaide. SA water
has done a great job by
water-Vani
purifying the water. Although it
depends which region you live
in, generally Adelaide’s tap
water in drinkable.
Your community
Klemzig drinking water is quite
clean. They put about 75 mg
per L of chlorine which is one of
the most used disinfections for
water. Also, they put
chloramine which destroys
bacteria make makes sure that
our water is safe to drink. This
was found by SA water.
Australia
Australia is surrounded by a lot
of water. After all no other
country borders Australia, but
this doesn’t mean its water is
safe. After Australia underwent
a few test the results show us
that most of Australia water is
either “major water quality
issues” or “significant water
quality issues.” These results
were mostly from the eastern
side of Australia. Although
Australia’s groundwater is far
better, as about 72% of
groundwater is suitable for
drinking.
Other countries (at least 3)
Although in 2020 about 70% of the
worlds tap water was safe to drink,
there were still 1.2 billion people
lacking even a basic level of
sanitation to their drinking water.
These countries include Nigeria,
Uganda, Republic of Chad, Papa
New Guinea, Ethiopia, Somalia etc.
One of reasons why many of these
countries don’t have access to
clean water is because there are
not as developed as many other
countries. One of the main
countries is Nigeria. 71% of the
population has at least basic
access to safe drinking water &
29% doesn’t have access to any
safe drinking water. Another
country is Ethiopia, which about
60% of the people lack basic
access to drinking water. Many of
these people drink from hand-dug
wells, unprotected natural springs,
ponds, etc.
