Once the early civilizations started experimenting with agriculture, there was a sudden need for water for irrigation and water for crops. When cities emerged, the large population and industry in one area caused pollution, yet another negative human-interaction with the environment. When large populations emerge, the water availability decreases, along with the quality of the water.

The current Human Environmental interaction is polluting rivers, cutting down trees, and polluting the air. Early civilizations would cut down trees for lumber, and build cities or trade with the lumber that they procured, Which would create a system for supply and demand. This system caused wide spread deforestation and a need for trade routes, Which led to more negative interaction with the environment .

Eventually, the amount of water DFW is able to get to people will start decreasing, it already did have issues getting water to the populace in 2014 and some people had their water cut off for hours at a time due to its negligence to its pipes.

Since the water being treated is owned by the government, the in-home filtration system will most likely be installed by government employees. Filters will be replaced by government employees as well as any other faulty hardware.

The Romans created a water transportation system that relocated water over long distances to the much needed roman cities. The Romans, however, created their aqueducts with lead, a known toxin. They tried to get around this by filtering their water through a cloth. This didn't succeed, but it shows us that in home filtering, if done with the right technology will save much of the city's water.

DFW plans to send out teams to dig up pipes and find leaks.Currently, the DFW water conservation unit has under half of its recommended budget, sitting at around $5.5 million instead of $11.5 million. In order for DFW to get a larger budget, some other areas will need to be improved to require less funding.

Water purification is expensive and pumping water through the pipes consumes a large amount of electrical energy. Since our drinking water is supplied by surface water, it is prone to pollution. The dirtier the water is, the more expensive it can be to clean. However, if it's cleaned in-home, then literal tons of water can be efficiently used without drawing from the city's supply of water. DFW's water budget has increased very little in the past five years, but the funding it needs has increased steadily all the way up to $11.5 million. With no foreseeable increase in it's obtainable budget.

The DFW metroplex is highly populated, it has over 6 million residents that it needs to get water to. When a city has so many people, it will eventually have water problems.

When water is transported to treatment plants, much of it is lost in the process of getting there. If filtering and treatment was done in-home, then the city would not have issues getting its water to the populace.

We need to reduce the stress that's being put on the pipes. This can be done through in-home filtering. If the city doesn't have to send as much water through the pipes to its residents, the pipes will have a drastically longer lifetime.

Water is constantly being lost due to old water technology, high population, and displacement over long distances. One way that can be fixed imcludes an addition to septic systems. Adding this product to your septic system will reduce water bill cost.

We plan to add an extra level of filtration to septic systems to make the water filtered in home and ready to drink hours after it's used, instead of sending the water back to the city. All stages within the system will be completely modular so they can be replaced in the event that one breaks down. The issue the product will have is that it will have to be approved by the government. However, this shouldn't be a problem since the product will increase available funding towards DFW's water systems, which are in desperate need of repairs.
