While browsing around for info on electricity in Sri Lanka, I came across a website called The International Development Research Centre, Science for Humanity. And I found some interesting statistics, courtesy of The Little Green Data Book 2000.
- Population: 19 million
- Urban population, % of total: 23
- Population density, rural (people per sq. km): 1652
- Passenger cars (per 1,000 people): 15
- Access to safe water (% of rural population): 77
- Access to safe water in urban area (% of urban population): 83
- Access to sanitation water in urban areas (% of urban population): 46
- Access to sanitation water in rural areas (% of rural population): 2 (What the heck? Do they mean sanitation as in toilet facilities and septic tanks?)
