POLLUTED drinking water will kill around 1.6 million people this year unless governments around the world make a concerted effort to clean up their supplies, warned the World Health Organisation (WHO).

He spoke to reporters ahead of the Singapore International Water Week, which kicks off officially tomorrow.
