What’s the economic impact of the water access gap?
For every dollar you invest in closing the water gap, how many dollars do you get back in improved health, access to education and economic opportunity? We wanted to find out, so we did the math.
At least 2.2 million Americans still don’t have running water or a working toilet at home, costing the US economy $8.58 billion each year. But it's not all bad news... Every $1 spent on closing the water access gap yields nearly $5 in societal benefits—an incredible return on investment!
Read the first national study to calculate the true cost of allowing millions of Americans to live without running water at home, and the hundreds of billions in economic benefits we could generate by closing the gap for good.
