Is there a “world water crisis” or a world water MANAGEMENT crisis?

Neat until some turd world heathens decide it’d be fun to rip them up. You know they will.
A cheaper method would be to not poop where you drink but apparently that’s over some folks’ heads.

Does it filter out salt from salt water?
I went to read the article but got hit with a paywall.

True dat. Municipalities here want to control everyones use of water... and they still cannot guarantee its quality...

I know this sounds very cynical, but I suspect the enviros will find something wrong with this material. They have an awful lot invested in their fake water “crisis.”

Graphene is becoming more practical all the time. Not there yet but it’s coming.

Like everything else, the scarcity of something is POWER. Controlling water is a big deal.

Here’s a clue: Don’t defecate in your water supply. Is that really so difficult for people to understand? Sorry, but I have lost compassion for people who have not figured this out on this day and age. Survival of the fittest, I suppose.

"Does it filter out salt from salt water?" Based on what I read, grapheme potentially can remove salt from water in ONE step, which would be a MUCH less expensive process than distillation (which requires a significant energy input to both heat and cool the H2O). The trick is twofold:
1) Some development is required to scale up the grapheme-based salt-removal process, and:
2) The already-existing proponents of the distillation-based salt-removal process are not just going to flake off and disappear with barely a whimper (if you catch my drift).

Right. The Left, the lovers and purveyors of totalitarian power, will use every excuse to obtain it. Totalitarian power is also shown to be the #1 cause of critical shortages in a society.
The Left always has been, is now, and always will be, the CAUSE of misery, oppression, and shortages.

California will outlaw it long before it reaches that point.

One in nine people around the world do not have access to clean, safe water close to their homes and at least 2 billion people are forced to use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces. Geebus... can't anyone do some basic math? There are only about 6 or 7 billion people. 2 billion would be 1/3 not 1/9th.

Outlaw the idiot environmentalists and there would not be any shortages here in the U.S. Knock off a few dozen dictators and there would not be a food or water shortage on earth.

Theyve been saying this for years. Time to put up or shut up.
