The paradox of our Blue Planet is that 70% of our earth is covered with water however millions of people are still dying due to the lack of clean water. According to the United Nations Statistics 1.2 billion people everyday lack access to safe drinking water. GE, water filter purification technology is just one of the more prominent eco friendly organization dedicated to helping third world countries access clean drinking water. Currently GE is the largest supplier of desalination plants in the world.

People take it for granted but for over one billion almost one fifth of the world’s population safe clean drinking water is not a fact of life. In Algeria where the Sahara meets the Mediterranean, GE is at the forefront of a profound transformation converting one of the plants more abundant yet unusable resources to an essential substance of life. Using a reverse osmosis process that is more energy efficient and cost effective than alternative methods the largest desalination plant in Africa is being built. On February 2008 the Hamma plant in Algeria's capital was opened and is currently supplying clean drinking water to over 1.5 million people. This type of impact gives people a stronger vision for the future and hope in a life that wasn’t there before.

GE water Filter Company is just an example of an organization bringing access of clean drinking water to millions of people around the world. The sad fact however is that even though these various initiatives are taking place, millions upon millions still do not have access to good drinking water. Consumption of contaminated water is not just experienced in third world countries but in many suburban cities in developed countries too. Most city dwellers have a municipal water source meaning that their drinking water is recycled and disinfected from waste water.


The Process

The disinfecting process of waste water is made effective with the abundance of modern filtering technology. Magnetic filtration process (carbon activated) is an example of a modern form of filtration that takes place within our many municipal sources. Many of these water sources are certified clean to drink however analyzed a little closer you would realize that disease carrying bacteria still exist. The problem isn’t just the surviving bacteria from our water suppliers but is also the over compensation of chemicals used to disinfect our water.

A relating example can be seen with chemically grown or genetically engineered fruits as opposed to organically grown fruits . The more chemicals used in any one substance the greater the health risk to the individual. Just as chemically grown fruit is linked to cancer, water which is overly compensated with chemicals is also linked to cancer. To minimize these health risks scientists and even many plumbers are recommending the use of household water filters. Filters like whole house filters, faucet filters, undersink filters and countertop filters help to further eliminate any disease surviving bacteria trying to invade your taps and showers.

Conclusion

The fact of the matter is we are living in a world where the population is growing and so is the demand for good drinking water. Every household and family deserves the best water possible regardless of where you live in this world. If you have a chance to further filter your water to the best degree possible, take it.
