Water needs to be cleaned by filtering systems. Many people around the world do not have filtering systems near them. They live in poor countries with governments who do not have money to build water systems that cleans the drinking water and provides sewage systems. Believe it or not over 2/3 of the world is like this. We who live in the United States and other parts of the advanced Western World fail to understand this. There are foundations that are trying to get well systems with filtering systems for the poorer nations and places. They are also trying to introduce more sanitary waste systems to them too. A lot of the rivers and lakes in the world are polluted too. So the people get sick from their water sources. Without large water cleaning systems being available to them they simply use the bad water. Boiling water does not always remove the bacteria, metals and other pollutants.
