Over the past 25 years, more underserved communities have gained greater access to clean water, but the disparities still remain vast between rich and poor areas.

Waterborne illnesses remain a leading cause of death for children under 5, killing one kid per minute. As World Water Week -- an advocacy event at which leaders brainstorm innovative solutions -- gets underway, photographer Ashley Gilbertson released a photo series, spanning seven countries, to demonstrate the discrepancies in water consumption across families worldwide.
