Hello friends.

Today we're going to talk about a very important topic, clean water and sanitation.

Have you heard of that before?

Let me explain it to you.

As you know, water is a very important resource that all living things depend on.

When we talk about clean water and sanitation,

we're referring to the technical and social efforts that make safe and accessible water available to everyone in the world.

According to the United Nations,

one in three people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water.

And two out of five do not have a place to wash their hands.

Millions of people do not even have access to a toilet.

All this means that hygiene conditions in many places are quite limited.

For these and other reasons, clean water and sanitation is one of the United Nations sustainable development goals.

To solve these problems, it's necessary to do two things.

Have clean water systems that improve the living conditions of all people,

and reduce water pollution.

The United Nations wants to make safe drinking water universally accessible in the next few years.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone in the world had safe drinking water in their homes?

In addition, the UN has given governments numerous tips and recommendations for improving water quality and restoring marine ecosystems.

Isn't that great?

To achieve this, it's essential to reduce pollution

and make clean water sources available in every part of the world.

Achieving clean water and sanitation requires effort from local, national, and international authorities and from all of us as a global community.

When we take care of water, we're taking care of the planet.

Don't forget that.
