Phosphates are like helpers for treating water. They do different jobs, like preventing red (iron) and black (manganese) water, stopping scale buildup (when minerals collect) and corrosion (when the water is too acidic or different metals react) in the pipes, and reducing lead and copper in the water. There are three types of phosphate products used for treating drinking water: phosphoric acid, orthophosphates, and condensed phosphates. These are chemicals that can be used based on what kind of treatment is needed.
Having enough water and managing it well is super important for the world's growth, having enough food, keeping people healthy, and trading goods. With more people, cities growing fast, and businesses growing, water challenges are becoming more urgent. Investing in managing water could cost billions of dollars every year. Water is not only important for things like drinking and growing food but also for nature and storing water for the future.
Building water infrastructure, like pipes and treatment plants, takes a lot of money and lasts a long time. Both the government and private businesses invest a ton in this. For example, in 2020, the Western Australian Government put almost a billion dollars into new water projects. In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave a loan of $265 million for water infrastructure in DeKalb County, Georgia. In Asia, where many people don't have access to clean water, governments are investing heavily. In South Asia, countries like Thailand and Singapore are working together with both private and public partners to make their water systems better.
The Indian government is also putting money into water projects. They spent about $22 million on the Jala Jeevan Mission Project in Kerala and approved funds for the Loktak Inland Waterways project in Manipur. All around the world, there are many investments to improve water facilities and sanitation. So, when governments invest in managing water, it's likely to increase the demand for phosphates in the long run.
