Beyond the MDGs: Coverage vs. Quality

Some hidden numbers…

Bad quality of infrastructure 1 million without potable water in Mexico State

Half of children in Argentina at risk for lack of clean water 58% at risk of illness due to inadequate sanitation and polluted water

Low service coverage in the Andean Amazonian Region 61% without water; 70% without sanitation │ 95% with Parasitosis (4 million Peruvian inhabitants)

Access to sanitation in rural areas, still a challenge 17% Guatemala; 28.5% Brazil; 30% Peru and Haiti

Poor wastewater treatment 8% Colombia; 15% Peru; 20% Venezuela; 36% Mexico
