Also, astronauts in the space station could literally pee through such a filter and drink it without ill effects. Such a technology could also help cities and towns in our own country by filtering "gray water." And, there are many rural areas where people depend on cisterns for water. This may not be the cleanest water, due to various contaminants.

It sounds like it may be difficult to mass produce AQP1, but if it could be done, couldn't this be used to alleviate the shortage of fresh-water in some parts of the world that have an abundance of undrinkable water?
