The Critical Nature of Water
Water is one of the most basic necessities of mankind.
Over one billion people, worldwide, lack access to sufficient quantities of water to survive. As a result, ten million people die each year from water-borne diseases and two million of those people are young children.
The problem is not a new one, but it has been a particularly difficult one to solve by traditional means.
The Major Source of the Problem: Bacteria, Viruses and Cysts
These pathogenic organisms breed in unprotected water and unsanitary conditions. Even efforts to help those in need are often thwarted by re-contamination of treated water during transportation and storage prior to use.
