Clean drinking water is a mirage for nearly one billion people. When water supply works, people don't catch cholera. 3000 people die, at least 60,000 ill, which should be prevented if drinking water is properly treated. Research by WHO shows that 1-dollar-invest in clean water and sanitation will get back 5-28 dollars back.

This is one of the worse things we do to our fellow humans. It's so cheap to provide clean water and yet we will not do it. I just don't understand what people do to each other.

It's really sad that millions of people don't even have access to this basic necessity and losing lives but we in our country are paying millions to sign-up players. This is so vulgar. I hope some good sense dawns on the people who have money and they find something better to bet their money on.
