DRINKING WATER SANITATION HYGIENE In 215, In 215, 71 per cent of the global population (5.2 billion people) used a safely managed drinking water service; that is, one located on premises, available when needed and free from contamination. 39 per cent of the global population (2.9 billion people) used a safely managed sanitation service; that is, excreta safely disposed of in situ or treated offsite. In 215, Eight out of ten people (5.8 billion) used improved sources with water available when needed. Three out of four people (5.4 billion) used improved sources located on premises. 27 per cent of the global population (1.9 billion people) used private sanitation facilities connected to sewers from which wastewater was treated. Three out of four people (5.4 billion) used improved sources free from contamination. 13 per cent of the global population (.9 billion people) used toilets or latrines where excreta were disposed of in situ. 844 million people still lacked even a basic drinking water service. 263 million people spent over 3 minutes per round trip to collect water from an improved source (a limited drinking water service). 159 million people still collected drinking water directly from surface water sources, 58% lived in subsaharan Africa. Available data were insufficient to make a global estimate of the proportion of population using septic tanks and latrines from which excreta are emptied and treated offsite. 2.3 billion people still lacked even a basic sanitation service. 6 million people used a limited sanitation service. 892 million people worldwide still practised open defecation. JMP website: www.washdata.org 12 7 countries had comparable data available on handwashing with soap and water, representing 3 per cent of the global population. Coverage of basic handwashing facilities with soap and water varied from 15 per cent in subsaharan Africa to 76 per cent in Western Asia and Northern Africa, but data are currently insufficient to produce a global estimate, or estimates for other SDG regions. In Least Developed Countries, 27 per cent of the population had basic handwashing facilities with soap and water, while 26 per cent had handwashing facilities lacking soap or water. The remaining 47 per cent had no facility. In subsaharan Africa, three out of five people with basic handwashing facilities (89 million people) lived in urban areas. Many highincome countries lacked sufficient data to estimate the population with basic handwashing facilities.
