Why Water Matters….
Water is integral to our existence. However, despite three quarters of the earth’s surface covered by water, only a fraction of the global population has access to a consistent source of WHO-standard potable water supply.
As per expert estimates, 70% to 75% of Earth’s surface is made of water of which only 2.5% is fresh water, fit for human consumption. Of this 2.5% only 0.5 % is available ground water and 0.01% is the readily accessible water in lakes, streams, rivers etc. The rest is located as ice caps. This significant statistics answers emerging queries of the need to recycle and reuse water effectively. As Kolkata Water & Environment, we understand this well and hence our endeavor to bring out the message of using water efficiently. Water is core of what we do.
