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

There is currently a water crisis on our panet; people are dying all over the world. Why do we have this crisis when there seems to be more than enough water all over the world? Because, amazingly, 97% of the world’s water is undrinkable. Most of this undrinkable water is salt water from the oceans — and, unfortunately, salt water is unfit for drinking. As for the drinkable water, it is believed a majority of it has been polluted or contaminated, thanks to our industrial waste and large companies refusing to stop dumping waste into normally safe sources of drinking water.

Most of us in the United States don’t even notice that all of this is going on in our world because we are blessed with plenty of clean and pure drinking water. Many businesses or offices we visit have bottled water available for us to drink. When we go to a restaurant we are typically served a glass of water, almost as soon as we arrive. Most vending machines even offer bottled water now.

Water is necessary for humans to live healthily and because of this water crisis, millions are ill or dying; especially people in developing countries where they are even fighting over water. In this crisis, the highest death rates are suffered by babies and the elderly. The number that shocks me most is 4,900 — 4,900 babies die every day because of lack of clean drinking water. It has gradually become clear that there is an immediate need for new water treatment plants and for new ways to treat sewage water. And these are the new water machines for which we have a practical need. Certainly this is a very tall order for our world today.

Now a new generation of machines can manufacture water out of air, and special treatment plants can take the salt out of saltwater. Many believe the crisis is becoming worse, so there are many companies working on new technology. The crisis is becoming worse because our underwater sources in some areas are becoming polluted which is making this water crisis one that could soon affect the United States as well as other developed countries.

Almost 500 gallons of drinkable water can be produced — right out of the air — by a machine now on the market. This sort of water machine isn’t portable, but at least this new technology is being developed.

Water machines that are small and portable will probably be the wave of the future; they will surely be located in virtually every home, restaurant, office, and business. But now, at least, this crisis is being recognized. Let us hope that this realization has not come too late. More info at www.carbonatedseltzerwater.com.
