8. Afghanistan
Percentage of population using improved drinking water sources: 55.30%
The 8th place on our list of countries with least access to clean water goes to Afghanistan. It is one unfortunate nation – the Taliban along with constant intervention of the United States has resulted in it being counted as one of the 10 countries with the most suicide bombers in the world. On the bright side, the clean water situation has actually improved quite a lot in Afghanistan over the course of fifteen years. In 2000, this percentage of 55.3% was an abysmal 30.3%, so it seems Afghanistan’s citizens might have something to celebrate about too.
