The lack of clean water in many developing countries is one of the main issues. “In 2000, more than 830 million people in Asia Pacific region did not have access to safe drinking water.” (UN-HABITAT ORG, 2010).This sort of scenario does not occur in a developed country as it would not be seen as acceptable, and there would be a national uproar as citizens in developed countries know and stand up for their rights, unlike the poor people in these countries who know that nothing will help them. “UK water suppliers place the highest priority on assuring the quality of water provided to their customers.

Due to trust issues with public water supplies, people have drastically relied on bottled water, and past issues like Woburn are to blame. The government needs to focus strongly on both local and commercial water supplies because it’s a staple in the human life and without fresh water we would become extinct. So, to spend money focusing on the safety of all water sources should be a priority to prevent future case like Woburn from reoccurring and giving water a bad rap when bystanders are to
