League Table: ACCESS TO WATER

The tables show what percentage of each country's population has access to clean water.

Because access is defined differently by different countries, alphabetical order is used throughout.

The toll of disease could be drastically reduced by safe water, by using latrines, by washing hands before handling food, and by preparing and storing food safely.

Staying healthy is therefore easier for the rich than the poor.

But even in poor communities, the potential for defending health is very much greater if clean water is readily available.
