-
The frequency of water scarcity crises is accelerating due to climate change.
-
Existing water sources are susceptible to contamination by chemicals and byproducts from chemical, agriculture, mining and other industrial operations.

Hundreds of NGOs are engaged in addressing developing-world drinking water challenges; however, most lack economic self-sustainability required to achieve scale.
