How to access to Safe Water?

Question

One billion people do not have access to safe water. Two-fifths of
the world’s population lives without adequate sanitation. Survive problem.

How to improve this situation? New Technology? New product? New concept?

Can you prove that you can change the world if you have a large of money.

Answer 1

ALL IT NEEDS IS FOR MOST OF THESE COUNTRIES TO STOP FIGHTING CIVIL WARS OR FOR THE DICTATORS OF THESE COUNTRIES TO SPEND MONEY ON THE SANITATION OF THESE COUNTRIES INSTEAD OF BANK ROLLING THERE ARMIES OR STASHING THE CASH IN SWISS ACCOUNT UNTIL ITS TIME TO FLEE

Answer 2

There is absolutely no single solution of water problem. Different areas have different reasons. What is needed is motivation among people to utilise the water effectively and preserve the nature.

Money alone cannot change the world, it may even bring misery. What is needed is effective policies, administration, zero corruption and good character

Answer 3

Several newer technologies are very promising:

1. Pur (Procter and Gamble) - see video with Vital Needs International (VNI) in Africa:

2. UV. I was fortunate to meet Ashok Gadgil, the inventor of
a scalable UV water purification systems (home, village, city). see:

If you are interested in supporting safe water, I would suggest you contact VNI in San Antonio, TX or contact Gadgil by doing google search. Good luck!

Sure, the technology is available to treat all water and to make it fit for human consumption, the resource necessary to do this is money.
