A WSSCC report states the average distance for women in developing countries to walk for water is six kilometers (about 3.7 miles). See this document: http://www.genderandwater.org/page/5124. These figures represent an average. Women may walk up to nine miles for water in some places in Africa. See this article: http://allafrica.com/stories/200806120757.html. But you’re right. Sometimes women may not walk as far for water but make more trips daily.

Where is this figure from? The NFHS-3 survey in India reports about 20 minutes of walk, which would not be enough for walking 3.6 miles, unless about 5-6 trips are made.

California has always been concerned about water… but not like most of the facts here. I live on other’s abundance.
