List of countries by access to clean water

Global access to clean water is a significant global challenge that affects the health, well-being, and development of people worldwide.

While progress has been made in recent years, millions of people still lack access to safe and clean drinking water sources.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, as of 2020, approximately two billion people globally do not have access to safely managed drinking water.
