How the Poor Suffer
Asian Development Bank | March 2006
Abstract
The poor are hardest hit by water-related problems that threaten their survival. Today, one in three Asians does not have access to a safe drinking water source within 200 meters of home, while one in two Asians does not have adequate water and sanitation. Water --or the lack of it -- affects the poor in a number of ways.
