Update for Figures

[edit]

Here's the WHO/UNICEF JMP for 2019, from https://washdata.org/reports. I might take a stab at it, but I thought I'd drop the link here in case anyone else wants to update it (and the possibility of myself forgetting or getting distracted by other things). Plus all those links in the article body need to get removed! Cheers, Estheim (talk) 22:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DATA UPDATING NOTE: Okay, so: JMP structures their data differently since the previous information batch. It's more about setting a baseline for what's required at minimum for water/sanitation. So even though the source is the same, I couldn't EXACTLY QUANTIFY the data as it was in the previous table. I feel like I'm crapping all over the previous editors' work, and I sincerely think the page was solid and informative- it's that in 10 years since, the approach to 'Development' is changing just as fast as the figures themselves. This makes sense, in that expecting developing countries to have perfectly functioning modern utility systems is not reasonable as a development goal (which is what source organizations are aiming for). So if you're wondering why I'm scrapping a lot of stuff, it's because the function of the data is changing and that means new tables. Estheim (talk) 18:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
