Emergency Plumber Responds to World Plumbing Day Infographic

The specialists at Emergency Plumber have commented on a new infographic by Roto-rooter, detailing statistics about the plumbing industry following World Plumbing Day.

(PRWEB UK) 15 March 2013

It shows that across the globe, preventable diseases related to water and sanitation are the root cause for 3.1 deaths per year. This is the equivalent to 8,493 lives per day, or a staggering 354 per hour. The image also reveals that diarrheal disease such as Cholera, Hepatitis and other waterborne diseases are responsible for 15% of child deaths each year.

The team at Emergency Plumber is more than aware of the advancements within the plumbing industry in recent years and believe that this could be the key to improving water access and sanitation worldwide. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

The infographic really serves to grab peoples attentions with facts and figures that can make for quite uncomfortable reading. World Plumbing Day has definitely worked to promote awareness over the importance of adequate plumbing and sanitation systems. In the UK we often take for granted clean water and sufficient sanitation however this simply isnt the case for a number of other countries. In fact, in some developing nations, plumbers can save more lives than doctors.

Further work to achieve this change will be continuing as part of International Decade for Action Water for Life, from 2005- 2015 a world agenda set in place by the World Health Organisation and the World Plumbing Council. Their aim is to supply 97 million people each year with access to clean drinking water as well as 138 million people with sanitation services.
