WaterMicronWorld - the World is Running Out of Water

Manhattan, NY, November 17, 2017 --(PR.com)-- New data shows that a majority of the world’s largest underground aquifers the predominant sources of our drinking water are being depleted faster than they can be refilled.

From its recent study, NASA concluded that 21 of the 37 largest aquifers (underground reservoirs that store groundwater from rain and snow) are running out too fast to be replenished.

An additional 13 are declining at a rate that puts them in a category NASA calls the “most troubled.”

This is extremely troubling considering that we draw about a one-third of the world’s water from aquifers.

“The situation is quite critical,” Jay Famiglietti, senior water scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and principal investigator of the University of California Irvine-led studies.

NASA gathered its data using special satellites called Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites, which took precise measurements of the world’s groundwater aquifers. Since the bigger, heavier water sources exerted a stronger gravitational pull on the satellite, they could use this data to spot the largest sources of water.

Should we have seen this coming?

The depletion of water around the world, while alarming, shouldn’t come as any surprise. An organization devoted to water conservation, said that between 1900 and 2000, worldwide water use increased six-fold, and the UN expects the situation to get “considerably worse” by 2030.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch reports that water scarcity is our biggest problem worldwide.

At present, droughts are happening on every single continent in the world.

Why it’s likely to get worse

Two aquifers in America, including California’s Central Valley Aquifer and one that stretches across the southeast coast of Florida, are also being used at an unsustainable rate. According to the US Government, 40 of 50 states have at least one region that is expected to face some kind of water shortage within the next 10 years.

Underground drilling for natural resources like gold, iron, and oil has put added stress on the aquifers, and the top-three fastest depleting aquifers are all located in the Middle East.

This is compounded by the fact that climate change has dried out regions of the planet along the equator and caused areas north and south to experience heavier rainfall.

Famiglietti says this creates a self-reinforcing cycle where people who live closer to the equator pump more water from aquifers due to drier conditions. But, once that water is removed from the ground, it evaporates and is redistributed as rainfall to areas farther north and south, meaning the aquifers that are hurting for groundwater cannot get replenished.

WaterMicronWorld Atmospheric Water Generators remove more dangerous contaminants than any other purification method, and they are uniquely designed to work with municipally treated water plus make pure drinking water from the air we breathe. The water they produce is not subject to phthalate contamination, and they are able to remove cryptosporidium from drinking water, a feat that neither municipal water treatment plants nor bottled water companies have yet managed.

Also, Atmospheric Water Generators drinking water is a much more economical practice than drinking bottled water. The WateMicronWorld Atmospheric Water Generators pure drinking water product costs very little. Furthermore, because WaterMicronWorld Atmospheric Water Generators water uses no more energy than is already required to propel water through a home’s plumbing system, they circumvent several of the environmental problems of the bottled water industry, said Robert Rainman of WaterMicronWorld, Ltd.

At this point in time, there is simply no better choice-for purity and economy-than WaterMicronWorld Atmospheric Water Generators.
