Summary
Today, some 380 billion cubic meters (m3 = 1000 litres) of wastewater are produced annually worldwide – five times the amount of water passing over Niagara Falls annually – enough to fill Africa’s Lake Victoria in roughly seven years, Lake Ontario in four, and Lake Geneva in less than three months.
