Approximately 700 million people do not have access to clean drinking water. The results affect all aspects of life in developing countries. According to Water.org, a child dies every 90 seconds from a water-related illness and women in some water stressed areas spend several hours every day collecting water for their families' basic needs.
There have been many suggestions about ways to improve access to clean water. One of the problems is that in many areas, the lack of access is coupled with a lack of the electricity, developed roads, machines and equipment necessary to be able to support digging municipal wells and providing pumping stations, reservoirs and pipelines.
Go to the Water.org website https://www.water.org, read all of the information under both the "Crisis" pull-down menu and the "Solutions" pull-down menu. Answer the following questions and explain your responses:

a. Do they give supporting evidence for their claims? Give specific examples.
b. Do they give references for their evidence, as well as clear explanations? Give specific examples.
