In some emerging countries, people have to walk around 16 kilometers between their village and the first water spot (ONU sources). It’s a sad fact, and unfortunately, it is not going to change that fast. Designer Joshua Murphy came with a witty question.

His idea: While carrying the water, usually taken from the river and eventually filthy, people would purify them.
