This situation prompted world leaders to develop the sixth Sustainability Development Goal (SDG) which seeks to make sure the supply and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
At the 2016 World Water day, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon involved bold action to deal with water inequality. Highlighted are a number of the bold, innovative clean water solutions that organizations are developing so as to make sure the sixth SDG is met.
Systems which recycle body waste and sewage to water are already operational. The Tree hugger blog reports of 1 such system installed on the island of Pulau Seringat in Singapore. The system generates approximately 2500 gallons of water employing a three-step process to convert sewage to water.
Seattle Engineering firm, Janicki, developed an Omniprocesser that converts body waste on to clean water. The security of the water was confirmed by billionaire philanthropist, Gates, who drank it and affirmed that he would happily drink it a day.
Desalination
Approximately 99 percent of the water on earth isn't drinkable. Desalination is that the solution to purifying sea water or salt water for human consumption.
Uptake of the technology has largely been limited by the high costs of the desalination process. However, arid countries are finding that it's a necessary solution.
According to the International Desalination Association, the most important desalination plant within the world in Saudi Arabia produces 273 million gallons of beverage per day while in Israel, 1 / 4 of the nation’s water system is generated from desalination.
These are handy small-scale technologies that allow individuals to drink water from almost any source with the exception of salt water.
The technology works by leak through a particularly fine medium which traps dirt and bacteria within its pores producing clean and drinkable water.
