No, We Can’t Turn Water Into Wine. But How About Seawater Into … – Civilized

There is a new way to obtain drinkable water thanks to a group of scientists that have created a filter with extremely small pores, made from graphene. This filter was used to desalinize, which means to remove salt, sea water which in turn converted this sea water into a water that can be used for human consumption. This is the first known occasion in which graphene has been used to successfully filter sea water, an important feat given that the the United Nations expects at least 14% of the world will face water shortage crisis by 2025.

Key Takeaways:

the United Nations believes climate change will make water scarce.
14 percent of the population will have problems with water scarcity.
The United nations predicts outcomes of climate change by 2025.
