Looking to best other squeezable filter bottles, the Oassay FlexFlow uses a compact filter to remove tiny viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, hydrocarbons and even fluoride. The bottle passes water at drinkable flow rates for seamless hydration.

One of the problems with microplastics lies in the fact that the plastic particles can be so small, we don't even know they're present in water in the first place. A new type of engineered bacteria could help, by causing the particles to glow green.

Giant solidified masses of fat, grease, and other waste threaten to clog sewer lines and cause huge spillages in cities worldwide. Researchers at RMIT have developed two novel ways to prevent these blocks of waste from forming.

We know Lifestraw best for lightweight, ultraportable water filter and purification products aimed at backcountry use, but its all-new Escape is a different beast. The jug supplies groups with over 5 gallons of clean drinking water per fill-up.

For the first time, researchers have shown how staying hydrated influences how our bodies react, hormonally, to stress, keeping cortisol in check and in turn lowering the risk of serious health conditions including heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

One of the most dangerous microorganisms on Earth, Naegleria fowleri has a well-earned nickname as the "brain-eating amoeba," and infection almost always leads to death. Now it's infiltrated the treated drinking water supplied to two Australian towns.

Dozens of water-harvesting pods are set to be deployed along the sea floor off the coast of California as the United States ramps up its first subsea desalination project. The effort is expected to produce 60 million gallons (227 million liters) of fresh water per day.

Over the past two centuries, the construction of thousands of dams has done more than just tame rivers – it has shifted the Earth’s North Pole about a meter off its position.

A new study from scientists at Michigan State University sheds light on a recently discovered microbe and its potential for scavenging pollutants in deep soil. Further work could lead to novel solutions in providing clean drinking water worldwide.

There are plenty of ways to suck water out of the air, whether you need a little or a lot. MIT researchers may have just hit upon one of the best ways to do it, with a new device that doesn't need power, or even a filter, to deliver drinking water.

What if the water in your coffee pot literally just came out of thin air and you never had to fill it again? That's what the Kara Pod does. True story.

If your home has old lead water pipes, there's a chance that harmful concentrations of lead may be present in your water. An experimental new device could soon allow homeowners to check for themselves, instead of waiting for the city to do so.
