This document discusses the global water crisis and innovative technologies for clean water. It notes that two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by water but many areas still face water scarcity issues. The document then summarizes several technologies researchers are developing to address water purification and accessibility concerns, including a paper that purifies water, a device that extracts water from air, graphene filters, portable water filter straws, solar water pumps, and fog harvesting methods. It concludes by highlighting some of the pressing water crisis facts facing India if issues are not addressed, such as many cities projected to run out of groundwater by 2020 and over 300,000 child deaths annually due to water-related illnesses.
