- greenavocado 3y agoYou can't quantify the improvement in these terms because you yourself don't have a way to measure it. Edit because I can't reply: What is abundantly clear is the main areas with severe problems with water pollution today are Africa and the Indian Subcontinent: https://ourworldindata.org/clean-water https://ourworldindata.org/clean-water
- TylerE 3y agoIt's pretty clear from the number of ongoing current catastrophes (PFAS, more recently BPA, cities with lead pipes) that what we're doing now isn't enough. Can we start from that as a point of agreement?
