No matter who you are or where you are
water is a necessity. Some places suffer from a lack of it, so
technology created for one such as space can be transferred to
another such as disaster zones. This is the reality of advanced water
filtration and purification systems. Non-profit organizations have
used these technology around the world in places such as Malaysia,
Iraq, and Indonesia. In one Iraqi village a well failure caused many
people to die, those surviving had to drink from a unsafe creek by
shifting the water. Years later a mission went out to help these
people, The solution came after a familar connection put a person
high within the mission group in touch with a NASA engineering
working on providing clean water aboard the ISS. They noticed a
interesting relation to the CFKs water filtration system and NASA,
with there joint collaboration they showed how effectively space
research can contribute world affairs.
