ICR Ambiental Solutions:
"Countries with limited access to drinking water"
September 17, 2024
The global map of Countries with Limited Access to Safe Drinking Water (2025) highlights persistent challenges in Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. These regions face structural constraints such as rapid population growth, limited water infrastructure, contamination of natural sources, and insufficient operational capacity.
Biological water treatment technologies represent one of the most effective, scalable, and cost-efficient pathways to improve water safety in low-resource environments. These systems leverage natural microbial processes to remove organic pollutants, pathogens, nutrients, and trace contaminants, enabling communities to secure reliable potable water at lower operational cost.
Corporate Impact & ESG Alignment
Adopting biological treatment technologies supports the following global goals:
-
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
-
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
-
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities
-
SDG 13: Climate Action
Biological solutions also reduce chemical consumption, limit sludge generation, and provide long-term resilience—critical for emerging economies.
