The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should
have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have
trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide
fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of
rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all,
and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and
reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with
water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and
snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to
drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories
have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology
they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less
costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure
everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not
having enough water for everyone.
