Women in water-stressed regions, walk on average, 3.5 miles everyday to get water to their homes.
Mathematical Evidence:
In a year (365 days), one woman will walk 1277.5 miles.
On average, Americans buy 500,000,000 bottles of water every week.
Mathematical Evidence:
In one year (52 weeks), together, America will buy 26,000,000,000 plastic water bottles.It takes 3 times the amount of water to make each bottle, than to fill it.
Mathematical Evidence:
If a bottle holds 16.8 oz, it will take 50.4 oz to make the bottle.Bottled Water Consumption
69% of all water carriers report back or neck pain.
Mathematical Evidence:
Out of a typical village of 9,000,000 people, 6,210,000 people have back and neck pain.There are 2,460,000 student absences each day from water related illnesses.
Mathematical Evidence:
In a full school year (180 days), there are 442,800,000 absences total.
The average amount of time spent carrying water is 18 minutes.
Mathematical Evidence:
In one week,a person will have to walk 126 minutes (2 hours and 6 minutes) just to get their drinking water.
