The percentage of people worldwide who have access to an improved water supply has risen from 78% in 1990 to 83% in 2004. Some 1'228 million more people have been served during these 14 years (772 million in urban and 456 million in rural areas).
These figures can be considered as representative of the global situation since over 96% of the world population is taken into consideration in these statistics.
