Clean Water Accessibility and Water Infrastructure

Heterogeneous Engineering
This is when designers/engineers try to influence the commercial industry, especially with marketers thus engineering the social context of a certain technology (people's views of it). If engineers and marketers can grab people's attention about how the water issue is bigger than it seems, in the long run, more people can consume water.

Technological momentum
Why care?
Technological momentum describes how technology affects different individuals with the aspect of time added. With more money to increase infrastructure and more people to care about the issue. Eventually within,perhaps 1/2 a century, everyone can have their necessary water.
-2 billion worldwide without water
-800 million without clean access to drinking water
-More people have a cell phone than a toilet!
-1400 children die daily globally, from lack of water.
ANT
ANT describes the theory that objects are treated as people, and the user and the object both must be present to create a network. Engineers, leaders, and infrastructure all must be present to create water resources for individuals
Argument and new insight
The integration of infrastructure (chemical/irrigation/mechanical) engineering and understanding of humanities/politics both yield a way to increase water in developing/underdeveloped nations.
With the integration of these two aspects, technological momentum increases.
