Safeguarding Water Quality: The Technologies Protecting Our Freshwater Future

eawater

As global demand for freshwater intensifies, the conversation must evolve beyond quantity to address an equally urgent crisis: water quality. The Global Commission on economics of water forecasts that over half the world’s food production could be jeopardized by freshwater shortages within 25 years. But contamination of existing freshwater may prove just as perilous. Freshwater ecosystems face unprecedented stress. The UK’s Environment Agency reported 3.6 million hours of raw sewage discharge into rivers in 2024 alone. Poor water quality diminishes resource usability and accelerates ecosystem decline, imperiling biodiversity, public health,…
