Potable Water Scarcity
Water is an abundant natural resource that covers three quarters of the earth’s surface. However, only about 3% of all water sources is potable.
About 25% of worlds’ population does not have access to satisfactory quality and/or quantity of freshwater and more than 80 countries face severe water problems.
Worldwide drought and desertification are expected to sharpen the problem. Even countries that at present do not face water shortages may have to tackle the problem of fresh water scarcity in the near future.
According to the Worldwatch Institute, more than two-thirds of the world’s population may experience water shortages by 2025, thus affecting practically every country in the world, including the developed, unless they reduce demand and/or develop additional water sources.
The Danfoss AquaZ aquaporin membranes can treat seawater at equivalent pressures and costs as brackish water today; solving the global challenge of fresh water supply.
