A United Nations report has revealed millions of people world wide have no access to safe drinking water.
The new GLAAS Report, which is published by UN Water and the World Health Organization, found funding for the provision of water services in poor countries has fallen by nearly 40 per cent in the past decade.
It says 900 million people have no access to clean water while 2.6 billion people do not have adequate sanitation.
