Wasser ist das Grundelement des Lebens und steht für Reinheit. Weltweit verfügen 1,1 Milliarden Menschen nicht einmal über 20 Liter reinen Wassers am Tag, dem von der WHO (World Health Organisation) definierten Mindestwasserbedarf pro Person und Tag. Mehr als 2 Milliarden Menschen sind heute schon gezwungen, verunreinigtes Wasser zu trinken. Die Qualität von Wasser wird von vielen Faktoren beeinflusst. Eine gleichbleibend gute Wasserqualität für den jeweiligen Einsatz kann nicht mehr garantiert werden. Naturkatastrophen, Grund- und Regenwasserbelastungen durch die Industrie, aber auch regionale Veränderungen wirken sich kurz- und langfristig negativ auf die Wasserqualität aus. Präventive Wasserdesinfektion steht daher verstärkt im Interesse der Wasserversorgungsunternehmen.

Water is the fundamental element of life, and symbolizes purity. Worldwide, 1.1 billion people have less than 20 liters of clean water available each day, which is the minimum daily water requirement per person as defined by the WHO (World Health Organization.) Today more than 2 billion people are forced to drink contaminated water. The quality of water is influenced by many factors. Sustained good water quality can no longer be guaranteed for a particular use. Natural catastrophes, ground water and rainwater impacts from industry, and regional changes have negative short and long-term effects on water quality. Preventive water disinfection is therefore of increased interest to water supply companies. | | German to English: Auditieren | Source text - German
