Water is the most important raw material on our planet for human beings, for animals, for plants and for microorganisms. Practically all processes in the biosphere that create and maintain life depend on the availability of water. Water is thus a living environment, an energy medium and a transport medium, and also an important element for all types of production.
The total amount of water available has remained practically constant over the last few thousand years. 2000 years ago, 200 to 300 million inhabitants of Earth could utilise the available resources. Today, more than 6 billion persons have to make do with almost the same amount of water. This means that the raw material water, which was for a long time freely available in many parts of the world, is now seriously stressed. Furthermore, the natural cleaning systems of our planet are considerably overloaded.
The Christ Water Technology Group is fully aware of its major responsibilities in maintaining water resources as a raw material and this contribution will become even more important in the future.
