United Nations "UN-Water" mechanism, its agencies and partners identified a number of actions and called for multidisciplinary and coordinated approach to deal with water scarcity. Along with UN partners and others, a formal, balanced and far reaching plan of action was adopted as part of "Water for Life". In March of 2007, World Water Day emphasized the need to cope with water scarcity and reiterated the opinion that it is the "problem of the century." Among other valuable information, the UN and its partners reveal conclusions at these websites: (www.unwater.org) (www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/). There are also brochures and technical reports to be found at (www.unwater.org/www-seminar2.html).
UN Water, identified, among others, the following actions as essential to addressing the world wide water needs:
1. Measures to improve the efficiency of water use, to reduce losses and to increase recycling of water in a way that gives priority to the satisfaction of basic human needs while preserving or restoring ecosystems and their functions.
2. Diffusion of technologies and capacity building for non conventional water resources and conservation technologies to developing countries and regions facing water scarcity conditions or subject to drought and desertification.
The World View Desalination Project is participating in satisfying these actions by virtue of the Passive Cellular Desalination Array. Taking the specifics of these actions, we are proud to assist with the following:
The Passive Cellular Desalination Array improves the efficiency of water use and allows water to be purified for human consumption. When used as an atmospheric CO2 scrubber or implemented as an industrial scrubber, the Passive Cellular Desalination Array is capable of both preserving and restoring certain ecosystems. The Passive Cellular Desalination Array is able to fill a temporary shortage of water on a small scale, but is equally suited to enhance capacity building for the largest municipal and regional water projects.
