World's 1st mobile water purification system debuts

NEW YORK, United States - Jean-Michel Cousteau, explorer, educator, environmentalist and film producer, joined business executives on April 25 in launching the first water purification unit that converts polluted water into drinkable water. The 12-meter-long mobile emergency filtration system, or MEFS, which was on display at a Manhattan pier in Chelsea, took in large quantities of the Hudson River and converted the brown liquid into clear water during a process that took about 15 minutes.
