It makes sense with the context in the article, but "triples that of 650 million" is a very strange way to say "almost 2 billion".

Also funny that the other big number, 1.3 billion, is literally double 650 million. Maybe they split it it up because the numbers are tied to specific geographic areas with specific water/energy quantities but yeah it does not read very well
