==Using Systems to Clean Water==
 
There are many systems readily available to clean water. Although most of these devices are expensive and are not the traditional ways of the purification process. New technology has improved the process and the accesibility to these systems. The image below shows a low cost and individual system for clean water.

Clean water is a matter of water supply and water treatment.

See Choosing water supply and purification methods for an outline of choices according to context.

Rationale[edit | edit source]

In the industrialized world, clean water is as readily available as air. Unfortunately, clean water is a luxury in much of the third world, and this fact is a major contributor to chronic health problems. (Appropriate links should be included here.)
