A. Less than 3 %
Despite the fact that three-quarters of the Earth is made up of water, less than 3% of the water is fresh, non salty water. Furthermore, of the existing fresh water, not all of it is available for human consumption, because it is out of our reach, locked into polar snow and ice.

14. QUESTION 4: CORRECT ANSWER
B. Eight
The amount of water each one of us needs depends on a range of factors:
Age
Body fat
Gender
Physical activity
Illness
Climate
Total body water varies by age, gender and body fat. Men's bodies are composed of about 60 percent water, and women's bodies are composed of about 55 percent. Babies' bodies are composed of about 78 percent water. The higher your body fat, the less the percentage of fluid you have. The less body water you have, the less time you can survive without water.
Illness, such as fever, diarrhoea and vomiting, can cause you to lose additional fluids.
For example, hot and humid conditions can make you sweat more, creating fluid loss that requires you to take in additional fluids to keep your body functioning optimally. In addition, being higher than 8,200 feet often results in more frequent urination and faster breathing, which uses up more of your body water.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
Contaminated water and a lack of basic sanitation are undermining efforts to end extreme poverty and disease in the world’s poorest countries.
Currently, there are 2.3 billion people worldwide, who still do not have basic sanitation facilities such as toilets or latrines. According to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, at least 1.8 billion people world-wide are estimated to drink water that is not protected  against contamination from faeces. An even greater number drink water, which is delivered through a system without adequate protection against sanitary hazards. 
Unclean water and child mortality
Unclean water and poor sanitation are a leading cause of child mortality. Childhood diarrhoea is closely associated with insufficient water supply, inadequate sanitation, water contaminated with communicable disease agents, and poor hygiene practices. Diarrhoea is estimated to cause 1.5 million child deaths per year, mostly among children under five living in developing countries. 
Improved sanitation and economic benefits
The links between lack of water and sanitation access and the development goals are clear, and the solutions to the problem are known and cost-effective. Research shows that every US $1 invested in improved sanitation translates into an average return of US $9. Those benefits are experienced specifically by poor children and in the disadvantaged communities that need them most.
