How Nanotech Can Help Solve the Fresh Water Crisis

We all take freshwater for granted, but we shouldn’t. By 2025 two thirds of the global population may experience water scarcity, so there’s a freshwater crisis coming. And that’s because of global warming driven droughts. Supply cuts are looming in the Southwestern US and water is fueling wars across the world. There’s a sea of desalination technologies coming up. Like solar domes in the desert or nanofiber technology membranes and other nanomaterials making seawater drinkable in minutes. Let’s take a look at how nanotechnology could help contain the freshwater crisis and help with sustainability.
