Advocacy Project: Water Quality and Sanitation Activity

Purpose:
This online activity will hopefully open up everyone's eyes to two huge issues affecting millions of people all over the world.  I think that it is one thing to read information on this topic and gain some knowledge as well as being able to put yourself in the shoes of those who are suffering from these two issues.  I have broken down this activity into two parts for that very reason.
Background Information/Importance:
Below are links to three different websites where I found a lot of great information on the bill that I have been advocating for as well as general information about poor water quality and sanitary resources.
Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act 2009 Report to Congress
Environmental Health Perspectives 
Institute of Medicine
There are a wide variety of consequences from poor water quality and lack of sanitary resources, but I think that the biggest consequence is that people are falling extremely ill and dying because of these two issues.  This is why I think it is so important that people are made aware of this issue and become supporters of bill # H.R. 2030 .
Instructions:
Below is a crossword puzzle with 9 questions for you all to answer.  The questions all came from information I have previously stated in other Advocacy Project posts.  You can't actually type into the crossword puzzle so I would like you to respond to this post with your answers to each question.
The second part of this online activity is for each of you to reply to this post answering the following question: What do you think it would be like to live without access to clean water and sanitary resources?
