先进的水净化技术挽救了无数人的生命。（P&G）
全世界有几乎7.5亿人 缺乏清洁饮水。缺水问题已造成灾难性的影响。在发展中国家，近80
%的疾病与恶劣的水质有联系。由于患与水有关的疾病，各地儿童每年失学的总天数达4.43 亿天。
科学家和工商企业正合作解决这个问题。
1993年，联合国（United Nations）确定3月22日为世界水日。当时全球人口为55亿人。今天，世界人口已高达72亿，为最需要的人寻求清洁用水的压力陡然增加。
比尔•盖茨和梅琳达基金（the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation）支持的 杰尼基全能处理厂（Janicki
OmniProcessor）等创新项目有助于寻求解决办法。这项具有突破性的工程可以将人类废料转化成电力和清洁饮水。这种水的口感很好
– 不妨问问比尔•盖茨：
除了机械性的技术进步外，宝洁（P&G）公司发明了水净化过滤包，只需要4克就可以将10
公升不安全的脏水转化成清洁的饮用水。自2004年以来，这种过滤方法估计已挽救了多达 45,000 人的生命:
Science and business are opening the spigot to clean water
Nearly 750 million people around the
world lack access to clean drinking water, and
the impacts are devastating. In developing countries, nearly 80
percent of illnesses are linked to poor water quality, and children
miss 443 million school days annually because of water-related
disease.
Scientists and businesses are collaborating to do something about
it.
When the United Nations designated March
22 World Water Day in
1993, the global population stood at 5.5 billion people. Today,
that number hovers around 7.2 billion, increasing pressure to find
clean water solutions where people need it most.
Inventions like the Janicki OmniProcessor,
supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, are helping find solutions. This engineering
breakthrough converts human sewage into electricity and clean
drinking water that actually tastes good — just ask Bill Gates:
Not all
technological advances are mechanical. At just 4 grams,
the P&G water purification
packet almost
magically changes 10 liters of unsafe and dirty water into clean,
drinkable water. In use since 2004, the packets are estimated to
have saved up to 45,000 lives:
