STATISTICAL FACTS:

• 785 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water.
• Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. 
• Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year. 
• By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas. 
• In least developed countries, 22% of health care facilities have no water service, 21% no sanitation service, and 22% no waste management service. *(Drinking Water Report – WHO, 14 June 2019)

In a time of disaster recovery, there is an immediate need for pure water. Water sources can become contaminated chemically or biologically due to drainage, infrastructure collapses, or floods. During military operations, survival pre-arrangements, challenging trekking adventures, remote work sites, and many other scenarios, clean drinking water is one of the main priorities. In all these situations and beyond, the Otterpack™ will quickly and easily turn any questionable water source into safe drinking water.
