It is a widely known fact that over 1.5 billion people in this modern world are still suffering from lack of access of clean drinking water. United Nations survey has reported that millions of people are dying everyday from thirst and consumption of polluted water. So what can we do to help? Many people have there own way of helping in their own various ways, however for an organization like GE, water filter desalination plants are being set up all over North Africa. This new initiative was set up GE Ecomagination and these desalination plants are making a huge impact on the health and well-being of millions of lives in Algiers.
Located between the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea is Algiers. Algiers is a widely populated area with over 5 million inhabitants. It is here that people are suffering extensively from the lack of clean drinking water. As part if the GE Ecomagination sector GE water filter desalination plants been built to help relieve the problem. This project which cost the cost the company US $250 million is currently supplying pure water to 1.5 million Algerians. This enormous project was built using a reverse osmosis membrane approach. Round the clock this method is able to exert 200,000 cubic metres of potable water from the Mediterranean on a daily basis. It is the hope that by the year 2010 GE water filter desalination plants would be set up all over Algeria whereby producing a total of 2.3 billion cubic meters of potable water daily.
Providing the third world with pure water is a great and much needed initiative for these unfortunate people. However if you look closer you would also notice the same problem is also occurring right here at home. There are many people in our own backyards that are also in need to filtered water. While it is true that our water is certified clean when examined closer one cant help but notice the impurities that are disease carrying bacteria. Unlike Algeria our cities and towns dont get water recycled from the sea but from municipal sources. This would mean that our water is derived from carefully recycled waste water. This maybe a tad bit disgusting when you think about it however this process to which this water is filtered is revolutionary. However in saying this one cannot be overly confident to say that this water is indeed 100% bacteria free. There have been thousands of complaints in the US about water not tasting the pure due too over compensation of chemicals in our water. Even more people have also fallen sick to partially contaminated water, making is a much talked about issue in households and even the media. More people are nowadays are opting to install a water filter in their homes to further purify water before their family consumes it. Scientists and plumbers agree that, knowing our water sources are not 100% reliable we should take it upon your selfs to install our own water filter outlets at home.
Countertop filters, undersink filters, whole house filers and faucet filters are just some of the more prominent water filters built for households. These water filters are capable of further filtering your water free of lead, chlorine, fluoride, disease carrying bacteria denser sediments. When chemicals like these still present itself abundantly in your water you are bound to get sick sooner or later. More and more Americans are now taken hind of this problem and are choosing to install some sort of water filter in their households.
The fact of the matter is that no matter where you are in the world everyone has the right to clean drinking water.
