Drinking water from machinery

It seems there are hundreds of water machines on the market that produce good drinking water. There are soft drinks and so on - just do a Google search to see. There is Seltzer water. But these machines are not the ones we actually need. 

There is currently a water crisis in our world, people die. Why this crisis? There seems to be plenty of water throughout the world? Because, amazingly, only about 3% of world's water is drinkable. Most of this undrinkable water from the ocean - salt water unfit for drinking. Because of our industrial waste, and large companies dumping of wastes into regular safe sources of drinking water, a majority of our drinking water has been polluted or contaminated. 

Most of us in the U.S., not even noticed that all of this going on in our world because we are blessed with abundant clean water. Many companies or offices we visit now provide bottled water for us to drink. More often than not, when we eat out at a restaurant, we are served a glass of water almost as soon as we arrived. We are even able to get bottled water from vending machines. 

Humans require water to live a healthy life, but because of this water crisis, millions are sick or dying, especially people in developing countries where they are fighting over water. In this crisis, the highest mortality suffered by babies and the very old. Did you know that a shocking number of children - 4900! - Die each day due to lack of clean drinking water. Gradually it became clear that there is an immediate need for new plants and new ways of treating wastewater. This is the new water machines that we really need. In our world today, it is certainly a very high order. 

A new generation of machines can make water out of thin air, and there are plants that can take salt out of seawater. As the crisis worsens, there are many new companies working on technology that does not even dreamed of yet. The crisis is getting worse because our submarine sources in some areas become more polluted, making it a water crisis that could affect the U.S. and other developed countries. 

Approximately 500 liters of drinking water can be produced, straight out of the air by a water machine is now on the market. How water machine is not portable, but at least this new technology is being developed.
