Currently, nearly 1 billion people on this planet lack access to clean drinking water. How do we tackle this challenge as Earth’s population continues to grow? A potter in British Columbia crafts a simple, inexpensive filter and an Oregon engineer’s radical invention eliminates contaminants using nanotechnology and light. Watch ‘9.3’ on Thrive!

Industrial Chemicals are being used that don’t exist.
Dilution is not solution to clean water.
Nanotechnology coated, contaminates are removed
shield
catalust coated mesh
traps heavy metals, destroys contaminates
in the future people will want to take water under their own control
treat the rain water
further treat water at their home level
