    Either you drink the dirty water and die from that or you don’t and die from dehydration. What’s the point of the distinction of lack of water and lack of clean water?

        ?? The solution is to provide clean water. Also we were discussing about the grouping of death causes in the poster. How does the solution affect how you group that? Where is the group for literal dehydration anyway if they’re are different group of death causes as you suggested?

          In a place where the local river is too polluted to drink, the solution is to either purify the water or solve the pollution at its source.

          In a place where there’s literally no water, the solution is to truck or pipe water in from far away. That’s drastically different?

          I think “lack of clean water” combines both causes of death, for simplicity? I’m not really sure why you have such a problem with it.
