Hmmm... I had not thought of water. I still think 9 billion is under the limit. Perhaps it is an economic limit? At the very least, we can force water restrictions, desalinize the sea, and clean up water sources. It might not be the 72 billion I guessed (with absolutely no figures, too), but 9 billion just seems lower than a true max population limit.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
