In the effort to provide clean, safe, and affordable water for personal and domestic use around the world, engineers and innovators in many industries have designed and engineered products that could help alleviate this problem and very literally save many people’s lives. Here are some of them.

LifeStraw

 

The cigar-shaped tube allows users to drink from almost any water source, filtering out anything that may be harmful to the drinker, including but not limited to, heavy metals and disease-carrying pathogens. The award-winning design is both portable and easily accessible to those who need access to clean water, making it a powerful tool in the fight against the water crisis.

Cycloclean

 

Like a mini water purification factory, the Cycloclean is a bicycle water cleaning system that can give you access to clean water by simply peddling away. Without the need of a battery or engine, the Cycloclean is perfect for disaster solutions, or areas with very little to no electricity whether the bike is stationary or you are riding it. It is created by Japanese based company Nippon Basic Co.

SolarBall

 

Created by graduate student Jonathan Liow, a graduate at Monash University, the SolarBall is a solar-powered water purifier. With the aim of providing clean water in areas that lack it, the Solarball can produce 3 liters or just over 3 quarts of clean water every day in sunny areas.
