Worldwide, only 3 in 10 people now have a connection to a public sewerage system. With the world's population expanding, a goal of improving sanitation by 2015 is slipping out of reach. In the run-up to the U.N.'s World Water Day on March 20, Reuters will run a series of text and video reports with pictures and graphics focusing on access to clean water, and technologies which could help reach a U.N. goal set in 2002 of halving the proportion of people with no access to sanitation by 2015, from 40 percent of humanity or 2.6 billion people.
