The world has been undergoing a lot of changes during the past few years. Some changes have been environmental and that is scary.
One of the most important issues for me is the lack of clean drinking water. An innovation or invention has to solve the problem of lack of clean water around the world and I will try to find it.
Is my innovation catch-up or frontier? My innovation will be catch-up meaning that it will adapt other technologies of existing products for everyone to use.
My solution to this problem will be to innovate water filters so they can be automatic and they could clean correctly any type of water.
How are automatic water filters going to save my problem unclean drinking water? Well, this water filter will be able to be installed anywhere, and it will clean any type of water due to its powerful filter.

The expected time to build an automatic water filter is of three months.
The expected time to see a return on investment is of one month. Water is essential and people from all parts of the world need it, so it won’t be a problem to see a return on investment really quickly.
I think that automatic water filters are a relevant innovation because there are many places in the world where they don’t have enough water for the people, but if they have automatic water filters they won’t lack clean drinking water.
Water is necessary for people to be alive, and many people have died because they drink contaminated water and that kills them. I want to create this innovation to help the community at large.
Water filters promote stewardship when they motivate companies and environmental movements to help maintain the water clean or clean the water with water filters. People will know about water filters and they will demand to have the right to get clean water.
Water filters may have some negatives but even though they have disadvantages they are a really good
Charles Fishman, author of The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water, presents in chapter ten, “The Fate of Water”, the importance of recognizing the value of water in order to solve water problems all over the world. Fishman uses Senator Arlen Specter’s town hall speech and an app called “Water Your Body” to point out that the real problems with water are water illiteracy and water mythology. He adds that water problems will be solved when people understand the beauty and qualities of water. In continuance, water has a personality and the presence of it can change moods and help people feel better. For instance, the WET company helps people see the beauty of water through magnificent water fountains.
(Conservation Colorado, 2023) Colorado isn’t only suffering from shortage of water but also clean water. The state is in need of new water management tools that are proactive, responsive and locally controlled for a cleaner, more successful water
Many Americans are used to simply getting bottled water and fail commonly to recycle them. One change to a seemingly everyday decision could have a huge impact on our health, environment, and finances at the same time. Bottled water is now viewed such scrutiny that many would not have expected
Introduction Public water fluoridation was first practiced in 1945 (Water Fluoridation and Cancer Risk). Therefore adding fluoride to water has been in practice for many years. Over the years people have wondered if fluoride is safe or even necessary. There are those that are for the addition to fluoride while many oppose water fluoridation. There have been mixed emotions about this in Georgia along with other states as well.
Around the globe every minute a child dies because of water-related disease, Women spend hours walking to collect water, it has been estimated 1 in 9 people lack access to safe water, hospital bed spaces are occupied majorly people related to water-borne diseases. Clean water is essential for both mental and physical development. Lead in tap water causes many birth defects. Thousands of contaminants are present in tap water which are even poisonous. For every spent on water and sanitation there is a double return to the economic.
In the mid-1900s, scientists developed new varieties of plants such as wheat and other grains that had higher yields and greater resistance to pests, diseases and drought. This was considered a long-range response to the hunger, environmental damage and global epidemics that many countries worldwide were faced with as part of World War 2. This is what was known as the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution, though it helped with a greater grain production, it also resulted in changes concerning role women within the workforce, a negative effect of the environment and traditional values specifically In Punjab India and a defined difference between the rich and the poor.
I think it's too late and the big companies have won. Despite that, I do think water should not have been commercialized and turned into a product. However, Mahatma Gandhi said it best: "There is enough water for human need, but not human
[The green revolution during the 20th century was the boom I will culture that was the result of human determination to break out of a food crisis.] The Green Revolution was caused by technological innovations, human want for food, and human want to escape status and class distinctions. Some consequences of his cousins were large economic effects, less hungry and more hard-working poverty, and let's class distinctions. The Green Revolution was caused by new technological innovations that resulted in severe environmental effects.
This is especially the opinion and suggestion of all bottling companies. According to Doria (2006), the convenience associated with the bottled water is because bottled water is portable. In addition, Doria (2006) notes that bottled water is always available and can be bought in any destination. A company like Nestle sells water in almost all countries. Besides, as indicated by Arnold & Larsen (2006), there is a general perception that the tap water goes under thorough purification before the actual packaging.
Stop Taking Clean Water for Granted Can you stop for a moment and think what would happen if we didn’t have water; clean water? It seems impossible, as we use water to drink, cook, clean, grow things, and for everything else in life. Unfortunately, because of the easy access to one of the most plentiful, and most valuable resources in the world, some people take water for granted. In contrast, other poor people live in places where the only easy way to get water is from a dirty irrigation ditch. Or their only source of water is backyard faucet shared by several homes.
New technologies in functionality and manufacturing processes are required to stay ahead of an ever changing market
Sustainability: If you take a look around at what’s really happening in our world, there’s an inescapable pattern of ‘what’s going on is simply unsustainable’ and in other words, it can’t go on for much longer. Sustainability is to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. As cities began to grow with the population increase, the need for a sustainable development became more apparent as resources began to diminish in quantity and value. Left to it’s own devices, the Earth is a sustainable system.
2.1 INTRODUCTION Non-Renewable Resources are resources that have the potential to be used up due to consumption or overuse, they have production, development or replenishment rate that cannot match up with the depletion rate. In short these are resources that can be finished, output exceeds input, and they are infinite. Non-Renewable resources vary from non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil, non-renewable alternative energy sources like nuclear energy and deep-earth geo-thermal energy, soil, and minerals (Botkin & Keller, 2012). These non-renewable resources range from a few years, up to thousands of years to replenish. The local as well as global challenge, is that most non-renewable resources are directly exploited by humans and their existence is widely threatened were usage
Green growth and green economy have been subject to various definitions but those currently being used by international organizations have a lot in common. Greening growth (GG) and moving towards a greener economy (GE) is complex and multidimensional. Green growth is a matter of both economic policy and sustainable development policy. It tackles two key imperatives together: the continued inclusive economic growth needed by developing countries to reduce poverty and improve wellbeing; and improved environmental management needed to tackle resource scarcities and climate change. The concept of green economy rests on the economy, the environment and the social pillars of sustainable development.
Introduction By the year 2025, the Philippines is believed to be brought to a water crisis if no new sources of water are developed or found to meet the growing demand of the citizens. (Sapnu, R., Balabo, D., & Cervantes, D., 2007) "There is a Japan International Cooperation Agency study that says that if we will not conserve water, there may be some problems. But of course we can always start conserving now and look for other sources," Lopez (2013) said. Studies have shown how water conservation and appropriate water utilization are significant as early as today.
