Quick Answer: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted previously underappreciated vulnerabilities in water infrastructure, including water demand surges at medical facilities, temporary hospital installations, quarantine centers, and field hospitals requiring clean water for patient care, hand hygiene, and equipment st. Advanced water treatment technologies including reverse osmosis provide effective solutions for water quality challenges in this area. AMPAC USA’s commercial and industrial systems are engineered to address these specific water treatment needs with certified, documented performance.

The coronavirus crisis is becoming scarier day by day, with more than 4 million confirmed cases in 187 countries as of now. The need for portable water purification is also increasing by the day because people from all over the world need clean water and soap to stay away from the deadly virus. Also, even the manufacturing of sanitizers, the preferred option after soap and water, needs pure water during the manufacturing process. 

Water is Essential but Not Available

Though water is among the essential services, it is not readily available to billions. Yes, it’s a sad fact that 40% of the world’s population, i.e., 3 billion people don’t have access to basic handwashing facilities at home. While most health organizations agree that washing hands frequently and for at least 20 seconds is essential to prevent COVID-19, these households and the people belonging to them can’t do even that. 

Also, a billion people have partial access to water or have to deal with regular shutoffs. It means that they can’t access pure water all the time to ensure they wash the hands multiple times a day. 

The Efforts

Organizations like UN-Water, WHO, UNICEF and Red Cross are trying their best to provide water to people from all over the globe, it’s high time that governments and private players also make efforts to provide pure water to a maximum number of people. 

The Solution?

One of the solutions that could help provide pure water in the remotest parts of the world is to trust portable water purification systems provided by AMPAC USA.
