Water = Life
Yes!!!
Water
is Life and clean water means health.
But,
Do you know lots of places in India as well as in world don’t have the clean water
to drink neither they have any proper way to purify the water they have.
Contaminated
water can cause many types of diarrheal diseases, including Cholera, and other
serious illnesses such as Guinea worm disease, Typhoid, and Dysentery. Water
related diseases cause 3.4 million deaths each year.
Is
it ever gone stop? If yes then, When it will stop and who will??
The
answer of this question and solution of this problem is given by Brilliant
researchers of IISC Bangalore with help of its startup known as suryagen.
They
decided to work on this problem and after lots of efforts and dedication they
have come up with the solution called as solar water purifier.
Yes,
you read it right. Solar water purifier which works on solar energy ; free,
renewable and infinite amount of energy.
Ravinder
Kumar and Umanand L., from the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering at
IISc, have developed a solar hybrid desalination system that works for saline
and brackish water.
A
simple glass incline, with a chamber that can hold three litres of water, can
provide clear drinking water in areas where the only sources are contaminated
with arsenic, fluoride or sewage.
There
is an inclined glass panel placed inside the container.
Sunlight hit the glass
and due to high temperature the pure water evaporated, eventually is collected
in another chamber. Two litres of clear, drinking water can be collected
effectively in a day.
“It
costs us Rs. 4,000 to manufacture, but we want to open source the design and
allow anyone to use it,” said Santosh H., head of the Product Development Team
of Suryagen.
Let's hope that one day everyone will get safe and pure water to drink.
