The scope of the problem is devastating: 748 million people lack access to clean water, and every minute at least one child dies from a water-related illness such as diarrhea, which kills more children than malaria, AIDS and measles combined. Women, who bear the primary responsibility for water collection, spend a combined 182 million hours a day collecting water. Of course it is not like this in the United States, yet, but I want to stress the fact that rainwater harvesting is another means of getting clean fresh water.
