Residents of the driest inhabited continent, Australia, have evidently been cottoning onto the fact that water means life and we need to be more thoughtful in our use of this rather precious resource. Since the year 2000, Australians have managed to

There isn't much choice, as groundwater reserves are insufficient. But really...is bottled water any worse than this? Four years behind schedule and nearly $80 million over the original budget, the nation's largest sea water desalination facility

XEROX/PARC Spiral Water Filtration Technology A typical water-treatment plant is very big and very expensive. XEROX's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) has come up with a new technology that could make the whole process cheaper and simpler, potentially

Images from Prix Pictet World Water Day, celebrated on March 22 every year, is an initiative of the United Nations that recognises that water is a basic requirement for all life. This year's theme: "Shared Water - Shared Opportunities" and "Whether

Dean Kamen is the kind of inventor we don't imagine exists anymore—a fervent polymath like Thomas Edison. Best known as the creator of the Segway, Kamen is also responsible for major breakthroughs in clean energy, water purification, prosthetics,

With his planes, helicopters, and other fuel-hungry pets, Dean Kamen admits that he takes a lot out of the world. This just means that, in keeping with his immigrant grandfather's advice, he has to put more back in. In the second part of our

Having given Global Water Challenge a Best of Green award earlier this year for their innovative work on the issues of drinking water and sanitation, it goes without saying that TreeHugger is a fan of their work.

Stand at the edge of a reservoir, river, or ocean and it's hard to imagine that the planet could ever run out of water; even just a day at the beach makes your one small shower a day seem like less of a threat. But with

Directed by David Valero for the Spanish eco-short-films festival La Luciernaga fundida, this video shows how a grandmother and grandson desalinate seawater at home.

Here's a frequent question asked by people wanting to create positive sustainable changes in the world: Is it more effective to work as a change agent from inside the current system or is it better to

This simple, innovative solar still purifies water without electricity or filters.

These low-impact, solar-powered desalination units could be a potential boon to water-scarce coastal communities, disaster-prone areas, as well as local marine life.

Using solar stills to purify water isn't a new idea, but it's an effective one. And now new efforts are underway to use this old technology to help green the desert.

A new desalination technology company is looking to help clean up and recover some of the trillion gallons of salty wastewater from the oil and gas industry.

A new water treatment system could save billions of gallons of water each year by recovering almost all of the waste water at bottling plants and water treatment facilities.

This novel wave energy technology can deliver large volumes of high pressure water ashore for desalination or power production (or both).

By combining solar PV, solar thermal, and a heat exchanger, Desolenator has developed a low-cost portable water purifier and desalination device powered by renewable energy.

This system could produce 3,500 gallons of clean water per day, at half the cost of current desalination methods, using just the motion of the waves to power the Reverse Osmosis process.

The latest episode of Fully Charged appears to come to us from the future. Or, maybe just Australia...
