"Water is vital for life. Clean freshwater is necessary for drinking and
sanitation, providing for our crops, livestock and industry, and creating
and sustaining the ecosystems on which all life depends. However, readily
accessible freshwater – which is found in rivers, lakes, wetlands and
aquifers – accounts for
less than one per cent of the world’s water".

"Advanced NASA Technology Supports Water Purification Efforts Worldwide.
Whether in the confines of the ISS (International Space Station) or in a
tiny village in sub-Saharan Africa, drinkable water is vital for human
survival. Unfortunately, many people around the world lack access to clean
water.
At-risk areas can gain access to advanced water filtration and
purification systems through technology that was developed for the space
station, thereby making a lifesaving difference in these communities."
