I agree that the $20 million+ dollars doesn't in any way benefit people without clean water, however I'm not certain I see the connection to this making the problem of dying of unclean water worse. While that is a very real issue, I don't see how pouring a bucket of water over my head in Minnesota is going to negatively affect anyone dying of unclean water. It will just go into the ground water, the shower drain, the lake, the air, wherever it is I dumped it. It will then eventually rain down again. There is literally no way I could get this water from Minnesota to anywhere where it would do any good without wasting either more money, gas, or energy than it was worth in the first place (likely worth around a penny).
