Filtration is still critical for surface water, whether hauled long or short. The problem we really have to answer is how to get water where it's needed without human beings having to break themselves hauling it.

How much does it cost? I can imagine people paying money to have clean water to drink, but I have a hard time imagining they'll pay to make their daughters' morning water-collecting easier. How well does it work as a general bicycle? It'll inevitably be used for that too. My favorite water purifying method is the Potters for Peace filters. They're made locally in >20 countries, and retail for $10-15 (when not subsidized): -their site: www.pottersforpeace.org -2nd video on the page: http://other90.cooperhewitt.org/Events/design-for-the-other-90-symposium Looks interesting.

How about a transport bicycle and a separate water purifier that uses gravity to run the water through a filter? I'm not so sure about the combination...
