 Evolution of the way people use nano sciences could resolve all water quality issues. The advance of nanotechnology enhances filtration and shows a promising future. Not only desalination but filtration processes as a whole are more effective with the use of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology helps to filter water by reducing levels of toxic compounds to an almost nonexistent level, therefore making the water fit for human consumption. This article relates the uses of nanomaterials to desalinate, filter and purify water. The use of nanomaterials reduces the toxic levels of inorganic and organic solutes. Also nanotechnology is more economically efficient and environmentally safer.  Savage, Nora. "Nanomaterials and Water Purification: Opportunities and Challenges." //Springer Netherlands// __7.

__Abstract:__** Lab 13: Purification of Water. Salwa Drake. The purpose of this lab is to effectively filter water and make it fit for human consumption and compare levels of iron and phosphate to commercially filtered water. This experiment includes the addition of Aluminum Potassium Phosphate and Calcium Hydroxide to the non filtered water to help the process of filtration. This experiment is a good example of different types of water and different ways of filtering and purifying water. Although the filtering did not work and clean the water for human consumption, it was still fun and surprising to discover new things about different water sample.
