USE of UV to purify water
Using UV to purify water is a very clean way of ensuring water is clean and free from bacteria, which could be used to enhance supply of clean and pure water, and promote better sanitation standards for rural communities.
Clear vs silty water.
I am curious what you will do in areas where the water is not clear. Do you plan to filter the water somehow before UV treatment?
Desilting silty water
Hi Paul,
Before the water is channelled to the tanks where it will pass through UV treatment, it will be allowed to settle down in a sand pond. The silt will settle down, then the water can be channelled to the pipes. The settlement ponds will be constructed in such a way that from the entry point to the exit point, there is an allowance for a distance, where the silty, unclear water settles down, and becomes clear.
100% free clean water
We support this project, which for sure will help control water borne disease in Kenya, and provide clean, pathogen-less water to the rural people in Kenya. This is a project that can be replicated in any village, anywhere in the world, more-so create wealth for the village enterepreneurs, many of whom languish in poverty in every corner of Africa and Asia. Count on us as partners to this initiative. We shall be in touch asap.
Quick Alternative; clearing Turbid/Silty water for purification
Seamus B.
Via extensive use of our primary purification solution in our experiences, especially in Flooded areas & other natural disaster situations, being a natural, non-toxic mineral to start with, we are naturally eager to keep it that way, and those somewhat unique features intact.
So we searched diligently for an agent that would quickly clarify turbid waters - we need to have it totally drinkable within 30/Minutes post-treatment - that would neither compromise our chemistry, nor cause any toxicity/negative health side-effects, to maintain consistency with the basic product.
We settled on the use of small amounts of Aluminum Sulfate. There isn't enough sulfur involved to cause any harm - in fact, a little sulfer in the right forms has proven actually helpful to the system; and aluminum in trace doses has also been fully proven/certified as harmless.
With these credentials, plus the fact that it works so fast and efficiently, plus is relatively cheap/plentiful & available, makes it a very good alternative. IF your system can afford the luxury of the extra time that use of "natural" settling procedures requires, so much the better for you.
But, if demand should outpace the timing demands of that process, you may want to keep this alternative in mind.
Water for all in East Africa
I am moved by this initiative, which am sure will provide solutions to the water problem in East Africa. As a water practitioner, i agree with Creek-Kenya that the water they propose to provide in houses will be clean. I also agree with Mr Seamus that using other water purifying agents will make the water even safer, however this will have to be at a cost, which the proponents want to do away with. Indeed for it to be 100% clean and free, how else can one go about it? I would love to get some answers from Creek- kenya, or from the other readers.
Taking care of Biological Agents
Creek-Kenya might be interested in contacting us on a manual on eliminating some of the water biological agents that may be present in the water from the swampy areas (if at all their plan involves such water). As a matter of principle, we agree with the initiative, which East African's should ambrace. This plan could work anywhere in the world. We support it...
UV treatment
UV treatment, we agree is one of the safest ways to have 100% clean water. Could Creek send us details on how it is done??
