A team of environmental scientists has built a computer simulation showing that more than half of all people globally have limited access to safe drinking water.

The researchers built their simulation using both environmental and survey data for almost 65,000 households around the world.

They used the simulation to generate maps for 135 countries showing where people had access to water.

They then compared the maps with data from UNICEF to calculate an estimate for the total number of people who do not have access.
