You are thirsty. Taking a glass, you 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, because millions of people around the world cannot do the simple thing you just did.

There is currently a water crisis in our world; people are dying today. Why do we have this crisis when most of the world is covered with water? Because, amazingly, 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.

As for the drinkable water, a majority of it has been polluted or contaminated; this is due to our industrial waste, and large companies refusing to stop dumping waste into normally safe sources of drinking water.

Most of us in the USA don’t even notice that all of this is going on in our world because we are blessed with abundant pure drinking water. It is common to find bottled water provided for us in offices, businesses, and workplaces. Usually, when we patronize a restaurant, we are served a glass of water as soon as we arrive. We are even able to get bottled water out of vending machines.

Humans require water to live healthy lives, but 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 very old suffer the highest death rates because of this crisis. The number that shocks me most is 4,900 — that is how many babies die every day because of lack of clean drinking water.

Gradually this has become clear: there is an immediate need for new water treatment plants, and for new ways to treat sewage water. And these are the new water machines that we actually need.

Certainly this is a very tall order for our world today. Now a new generation of machines can make water out of air, and special treatment plants can take the salt out of saltwater.

Many believe the crisis is becoming worse; consequently, 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 is making this water crisis one that could soon 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. Such water machines are not portable, but progress is being made in this new technology.

Small portable water machines such as this will probably be the wave of the future; they will surely be located in virtually every restaurant, office, home, and business. But acknowledgment of this crisis is now growing. Has this realization come too late? We hope not.
