SDG 6 - Clean water and sanitation
One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life.
At LJMU we are making efforts to address our own water usage across our estate by installing efficient water dispensers, harvesting rain water and using low-flush toilets in our buildings across campus. Further afield our research is supporting the rewetting of peatlands for agriculture and highlighting the danger of toxic chemical pollution in our waterways.
