Conclusion
March 24, 2024
Canada has the world’s 7% of renewable fresh water and 20% of total fresh water (Government of Canada); water does not seem like a scarce resource. However, on the global scale, only 1 in 10 people have access to clean water (World Vision). This scarcity and contamination of potable water causes millions of deaths each year. Global warming on the other hand, increases the temperature and waterborne diseases proliferate in these conditions. How does the increase in temperature and clean water access affect the death rates caused by water contamination?

Water Contamination Fatalities
Water contamination can come from industrial or agricultural waste and can lead to diseases like cholera.
Temperature
The average increase of temperature per year per country in 2022
Accessibility to Clean Water per household
Although a lot of countries do have access to clean water, some households do not due to water pollution, water scarcity, etc.

Water Contamination Fatalities Vs. Household Water Access and Regional Temperature Increase
The first graph demonstrate that there is a correlation between water contamination fatalities and the increase in global temperatures as the deaths peaks at 1 degree.
The second graph demonstrate that access to clean water diminishes the amount of deaths due to water contamination.
The third graph is irrelevant to our comparison
