Now for the first time, more than half the globe's people have drinking water piped into their homes, according to an August [2004] report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. Such progress, along with the spread of sanitation systems, has reduced hygiene-related illnesses, pushed more students into schoolrooms, and begun to break the cycle of urban poverty by making water much less expensive."
