We need water to survive, yet more than 2 billion people globally are dependent on contaminated water sources. Contaminated water can transmit diseases and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), this alone will account for an estimated 485,000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.

Water security is crucial and new technologies and systems are continually being developed to provide potable water options in the face of increasing risks to the already-scarce freshwater resources worldwide. In fact, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas by 2025.
