Hard Water In Third World Countries

Decent Essays
Even if a filter does not drastically change the amount of people who suffer each year from water scarcity (783 million people,) we can help lower the number by making the water cleaner for usage. We are privileged enough to be named when we are born, but people in Africa do not name their children until they are five years old because they are scared the child will not make it until then. So, our goal with this project is for people to see how hard water is to find in third world countries, and to help the water issue itself.
