Drowning is serious threat
An estimated one million people drown every year. Population
projections mean that the problem is going to get worse, especially
in developing countries.
Counting victims does not save lives or reduce drowning - but
understanding the magnitude of the problem and identifying the risk
factors does allow lifesaving organizations to provide effective
prevention actions to the highest risk populations, locations and
activities.
