Michael Pritchard's LifeSaver Bottle is a solution to clean water needs for just $150, it can filter even the dirtiest water, in remote areas, or following disasters such as the Haiti quakes.  Spurred on by the problems following the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, see Pritchard's demonstrate the technology at TED 2009
