I was replying to Madeline's question and I thought I could share this with everyone.
Here is the link of the video, and I highly recommend you to watch this.

This is from a TED Talk, where a number of brilliant people present their ideas.
Michael Pritchard, he made a bottle that can purify 6,000L with one filter.
When the filter cannot be used any more, then the system is automatically shut down.
I found it quite fascinating, and he mentioned that it costs 1/2 cent a day to run. (when a family of 4 uses it for 3 years)
The only problem is the money; in order for this idea to spread throughout the whole world, more supports are needed.
How else, do you guys think we can solve the global problem with clean water?
