Availability of clean water is a problem around the globe. Some remote areas have waterfalls that may be too small for power generation, but are high enough to use the head pressure to force water through a reverse osmosis system to supply clean water to a small village.

A long stand-pipe secured by ropes or tripod filled with reverse osmosis and/or carbon/sand filters could be erected in the flow of the waterfall with an output pipe running perpendicular out to a collection station.
