Clean water is slowly running out. With only about 2.5 percent of the world’s water available for human consumption, keeping usable water clean is a global priority.

Global economic growth and population pressures have driven water usage to unprecedented levels. Water shortages are prolonged by the presence of pathogens and chemical pollutants. While the removal of chemical pollutants has historically been a priority, there is now an urgent need to effectively eliminate or reduce waterborne pathogens.

Eighteen percent of waterborne disease outbreaks tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between 1971 and 1998, were due to pathogens in our water distribution system.
