We do not lack the technology to produce clean water. What is lacking, however, is the infrastructure to deliver that water safely and effectively to those who need it.
Unfortunately, "lay more pipe" is not nearly as sexy a headline as "seemingly insignificant thing that could do x for y millions of people in z place", so we get these resume boosters and they never turn out all that well.

Delivering by jugs doesn't scale and pipes cost a fortune...maybe a central water source every xxx people in urban areas and one in a village in other places, to start?
