Water Statistics

With 2020 still showing huge gaps, like 2 billion people using unimproved drinking water sources and 3 billion lacking sanitation, the page connects that reality to the practical costs and limits of fixes, from RO desalination at roughly $0.50 to $2.00 per m3 to the WASH link to about 58% of diarrheal deaths. It also brings in how demand and capacity are moving, with the global water utility software market forecast to reach $3.6 billion by 2030, so you can see where investment meets the scale of prevention.

Water stress is mounting as the world’s water demand is projected to rise 40% by 2030, while 2 billion people still rely on unimproved drinking water sources and 3 billion lack sanitation. Behind those gaps are sharp, measurable pressures on health, ecosystems, and costs, from the 24% average drop in diarrheal disease from better water quality to wastewater treatment market growth that is set to reach hundreds of billions.

Key Takeaways

  • The cost of desalinated seawater RO is commonly in the range of $0.50-$2.00 per m3 depending on energy and policy (IEA water-energy report citing typical ranges)
  • In 2022, private sector participation in water and wastewater projects totaled $11.4 billion in investment commitments (OECD PPI data reported for sector)
  • NRW reduction programs can cut water losses by 10-20 percentage points in pilot utilities over 2-5 years (World Bank NRW guidance ranges)

  • At least 5.2 million deaths per year are attributed to air pollution; however, household air pollution is linked to water and sanitation-related exposures, and improved WASH interventions reduce these risks (used as linkage statistic in WASH benefit analyses)
  • The global water and wastewater treatment market is projected to reach $572.5 billion by 2027 (2020-2027 CAGR reported by the source)
