Being essential for the survival of humanity, it was declared by the General Assembly of the United Nations \u201cthe human right to water and sanitation\u201d in July 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The human body is composed of 60% water and plays a fundamental role in body functions such as: cleanses the kidneys of toxins, moisture in the mouth, eyes and body membranes, maintains body temperature, allows transport through the blood, oxygen and nutrients. Therefore, in addition to needing potable water to drink it, clean water is also essential for the hygiene and sanitation of the world&#8217;s population.<\/p>\n<p>Water is essential for agriculture, livestock and industry, without it there is food shortage and hunger worldwide. Plant species that need a large amount of water to develop disappear, so without it they dry up and become extinct.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator section-separator triangle fusion-section-separator-2\" style=\"--awb-border-bottom:6px solid rgba(57,153,38,0.9);--awb-spacer-height:6px;--awb-svg-margin-left:0;--awb-svg-margin-right:0;--awb-icon-color:#ffffff;--awb-icon-top:auto;--awb-icon-bottom:-16px;--awb-margin-top:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-svg\"><div class=\"divider-candy-arrow bottom\" style=\"top:6px;border-top-color: rgba(57,153,38,0.9);\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-candy bottom\" style=\"bottom:-26px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(57,153,38,0.9);border-left:1px solid rgba(57,153,38,0.9);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer-height\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">FAQs about Pollution and water shortage<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4>Updated and extended in August 2021<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><strong>Pollution<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/sgkplanet.com\/en\/what-is-the-hydrosphere\/\">1.
