The need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/products\/seawater-desalination-watermakers\/emergency-portable-watermakers\"><strong>portable water purification<\/strong><\/a> 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.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Water is Essential but Not Available<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though water is among the essential services, it is not readily available to billions. Yes, it\u2019s a sad fact that 40% of the world\u2019s population, i.e., 3 billion people don\u2019t 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\u2019t do even that.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, a billion people have partial access to water or have to deal with regular shutoffs. It means that they can\u2019t access pure water all the time to ensure they wash the hands multiple times a day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Efforts<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizations like UN-Water, WHO, UNICEF and Red Cross are trying their best to provide water to people from all over the globe, it\u2019s high time that governments and private players also make efforts to provide pure water to a maximum number of people.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Solution?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/\">AMPAC USA<\/a><\/strong>.

These systems can be put on public places to ensure not only adequate hand washing but also to ensure the availability of clean water for drinking, washing and sanitation needs.
