According to the United Nation’s Water Quality and Sanitation media brief, one out of four urban dwellers does not have access to improved sanitation facilities and 90% of all wastewater in developing countries is discharged untreated, polluting rivers, lakes and seas. This was evident in South Africa when the Vaal river was polluted due to the limited capacity of the wastewater treatment infrastructure.
