"Every Day, more than 9000 people die from lack of clean water"

That's 3,285,000 people a year. Is that possible ? Sad if it is.

It seems very high. If that was true, the arid countries without water would have no people now.

That figure is probably a combination of disease, starvation, lack of water, war, etc. Either way, the number still seems very high.

Most of that is from water borne diseases like cholera.

The issue is mostly "clean", not "water". The deaths are mostly due to disease, not lack of water.
