Water Costs Rising
We are committed to providing cost effective, innovative water filtration and reclamation solutions to preserve the earth’s precious resource.
Consider these life changing facts:
- The United Nations warns that more than 2.7 billion people will not have adequate safe drinking water by the year 2025 if we continue to consume water at today’s rates.
- According to the World Bank, fresh water will become the natural resource most likely to cause wars in the 21st century.
- Only 1% of the Earth’s surface is suitable for drinking water – and this is increasingly at risk from pollution. The rest is undrinkable salt water (97%) and glacier ice (2%). If the entire world’s water were represented by a 1-gallon bottle, the amount that could be drunk safely would equal one tablespoon.
- The average household uses 250,000 gallons of water each year.
- The E.P.A. estimates 180 billion gallons of water are used by hotels each year.
- It takes 40,000 gallons to make one car.
- It takes 50,000 gallons to make rayon for a living room carpet.
- It takes 1,000 gallons of water to grow 1 pound of food.
- The largest laundry operation is in Las Vegas – 234 million pounds processed each year using one-half billion gallons.
Our Earth’s water resources are rapidly diminishing, and we must all take responsibility to conserve these precious resources for adequate drinking water.
