World Water Crisis

September 10th, 2009

You are thirsty. You get a cup and walk over to the kitchen faucet. When you turn the spigot, out comes clean, fresh, satisfying water. You probably don’t stop to think how lucky you are, and how millions of people around the world cannot perform this simple act.

There is currently a water crisis in our world; people are dying. Why do we have this crisis when most of the world is covered with water? Because as much as 97% of the world’s water is undrinkable. Most of this undrinkable water is salt water coming from all the oceans and the salt makes it unfit for drinking.

Due to our industrial waste, and large companies dumping waste into normally safe sources of drinking water, a majority of our drinkable water has been polluted or contaminated.

Most of us in the United States don’t even notice that all of this is going on in our world because we are blessed with plenty of clean and pure drinking water. We go to an appointment at an office and bottled water is available for us to drink. More often than not, when we dine at a restaurant we are served a glass of water as soon as we arrive. We are even able to get bottled water from many vending machines.

While humans require water to live healthy lives, millions are ill or dying because of this water crisis, especially people in developing countries where they are even fighting over water. Babies and the elderly suffer the highest death rates because of this crisis. Did you know that 4,900 babies die every day because of lack of clean drinking water? It is a shocking number.

It is gradually becoming clear that there is an immediate need for new water treatment plants or new ways to treat sewage water. Practically speaking, these are the new water machines that are needed.

For our world today, this is assuredly a very tall order. Today’s technology has created treatment plants to take the salt out of saltwater, as well as a new generation of machines that can make water out of the air.

With the crisis becoming worse, there are many new companies working on technology not even dreamed of as yet. The crisis is becoming worse because our underwater sources in some areas are becoming polluted which makes this water crisis one that could affect the United States as well as other developed countries.

Approximately 500 gallons of drinkable water can be produced, right out of the air, by a water machine now on the market. This water machine isn’t portable, but at least this new technology is being worked on.

Portable water machines such as this will probably be the wave of the future, with one being located in every home, restaurant, office, and business. But at least the crisis is now being acknowledged. We are hopeful that this realization has not come too late.
