Description: Investigates a new process of desalination, called "ultrafiltration," which is being developed at M.I.T., and interviews scientist who discuss the reasons for the world water shortage. Discusses present methods of desalination and shows how the best filtering mechanisms existing in nature inspired the development of synthetic membranes used in the new desalination process., Considers present methods of desalination of water and discusses a new method, called ultrafiltration, which is being developed at MIT.
