The blue planet - water is life

Earth - the blue planet. 70 percent of the surface is covered by oceans. Life is not possible without water. We see every day how dramatic the lack of drinking water can be – in many places around the world. Water is one of the fundamentals that determine people's quality of life. Water treatment systems are playing an increasingly important role.

Water shapes landscapes, creates habitats and influences the climate.

A look at the earth shows that our planet has almost infinite amounts of it. But not all water is the same.

The fresh water needed by humans only makes up 2.5 percent of the global supply - two thirds of it is tied up in ice and snow masses. The easy availability and disposal of water in our society makes it difficult to create a new awareness of its unique value. The development of ever more efficient systems for producing drinking water is not only the logical conclusion, but also an ecological must.

The use of water in our living environment is diverse.

It has always been one of the essential foundations for civilization. Where there is a lack of water, conflicts can break out. The resource water is distributed very unevenly on our planet. However, their needs are continually increasing.

Experts expect global water consumption to triple over the next 30 years. 40 percent of the world's population will then live in countries with chronic water shortages.

Our freshwater reserves are continually decreasing.

According to UN estimates, two million tons of waste are added to water reserves worldwide every day. Experts have calculated that one liter of wastewater pollutes around eight liters of drinking water. The careless use of water, even in many industrialized countries, is proving to be extremely expensive.

The costs for the supply and disposal of water, in the German food and beverage industry alone, amount to

to around 441 million euros per year. With the use of the right technology, water management also becomes more economical.
