The availability and safety of drinking water have become global problems. The United States joins countless other areas of the world facing this dilemma. Current attempts to alleviate these crises have created a $4.1 billion bottled water market in the United States, a $60 billion point-of-use water treatment industry and, wherever practical, incredibly expensive desalination plants with huge infrastructures and severe geographical restrictions.
All of these methods require traditional sources of water and each has inherent weaknesses and disadvantages. Even existing controlled and monitored municipal water filtration systems experience repeated shortages and contamination problems. In the United States for example, 85% of the municipal water systems are currently on United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) waivers for various reasons. Additionally, it is a guarded fact within the drinking water industry that chlorinated water reacts with organic matter found naturally within it to produce carcinogens, (cancer-producing agents.) In spite of this, there exists a worldwide need for new sources of drinking water.
