The ever-increasing global population continues to accelerate the exhaustion of our rapidly dwindling water resources. More than one billion people currently suffer from the lack of adequate or sufficient drinking water. According to Population Action International, by the year 2025 more than 2.8 billion people in 48 different countries will face water problems ranging from severe water shortage to major life-threatening crises unless dramatic solutions are introduced. Unfortunately, in many places, that future is already here.
Already, the sum of people without access to piped fresh water amounts to more than 25 percent of the global population, most of them located in Africa, Asia and South America.
Every eight seconds a child in a developing country dies from a disease caused by unsafe drinking water. Water pollutants; created by industries, agriculture and urban activities, cause cancer, brain damage and many severe diseases.
The rapidly growing demand for water  by industry and agriculture forces governments to enlarge the infrastructures in order to provide fresh water, but the existing budgets and efforts are insufficient for water treatment (purification and desalination) and pipe installation, both of which need to be developed in order to be useful.

EWA's Technology supplies safe, affordable water at the place of consumption without the need for long and expensive pipe systems.
