However underdeveloped countries have limited water supply. People in these countries could use more water to irrigate plants. Abundance of plants means more oxygen and clean air to breathe. Some plants could be used for medicinal purposes, which would be helpful in dropping disease levels. Not only do underdeveloped countries have limited water the water they do have is contaminated.

The water sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than wars do through guns.
