1) Message boards : Projects : Terraforming Mars - Proposal to create a BOINC project (Message 43255) Posted 4 Apr 2012 by dt Post: WCG has Computing for Clean Water and the Clean Energy Project, neither of which are directly disease-related. If a person can't get clean water and has to drink dirty water to survive, they swallow bacteria from the dirty water and can make a person sick and yes, even death from dirty water. In 2006, it was claimed that 5000 kids die per day due to dirty water. This doesn't include people who die from not having any water ( clean or dirty). 1.8 million human deaths annually from water borne diseases. If they had clean water, you think they would be dying from this? I think NOT. So don't go around spouting off things you have no clue about. Do some research first :). I participate in all of the WCG projects and recommend others to do the same.
