International Water Crisis
You are thirsty. Getting a glass, you walk over to the kitchen faucet. You turn the spigot and out comes fresh, clean, satisfying water. You probably don’t stop to think how lucky you are, and how millions of people around the world cannot do that simple act you just did.
There is currently a water crisis in our world and people are dying. Why do we have this crisis when there seems to be water all over the world? Because, incredibly, only 3% of the world’s water is drinkable. Most of this undrinkable water is from all the oceans — salt water that is unfit for drinking.
Concerning the drinkable water, a majority of it has been polluted or contaminated thanks to our industrial waste and large companies refusing to stop dumping waste into normally safe sources of drinking water.
Most of us in well-off nations like the USA don’t even notice that all this is going on in the world because we are blessed with more than enough clean drinking water. Going to an appointment at this or that office, we find bottled water there available for us to drink. Usually, when we go to a restaurant, we are served a glass of water as soon as we arrive. We are even able to get a variety of bottled waters from many vending machines.
Water is necessary for humans to live healthily; because of this water crisis, millions are ill or dying, 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. The number that most shocks me is that 4,900 babies die every day because of lack of clean drinking water.
Gradually we have understood there is an immediate need for new ways to treat sewage water, and for new water treatment plants. Practically speaking, these are the new water machines that we really need.
Undeniably, this is a very tall order for our world today. Modern science 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, new companies are working on technology not even dreamed of as yet. This crisis is worsening — our underwater sources in some areas are becoming polluted, making this water crisis one that could soon affect the United States as well as other developed countries.
Around 500 gallons of drinkable water can be produced — right out of the air — by a machine now on the market. This style of water machine isn’t portable, but at least this new technology is being developed.
Water machines that are small and portable are probably the wave of the future, and they will be located in every home, restaurant, office, and business. But recognition of this crisis is finally growing. Has this realization come too late? We trust not.
