Water is life’s basic necessity and without it life cannot be imagined. Yet millions across the world are denied even this basic necessity. Have you ever tried to track the main reason behind it, keeping in mind that 71 percent of the earth’s surface bears a bountiful presence of water? The reason is that only a fraction of this huge percentage is potable. The scenario has been getting worse eternally with the eternal increase in population and of course, industries.
A huge quantum of clean water regularly gets gulped up by factories and industries, only to release out sleathy streams of polluted remains. True, this entire waste matter cannot be recycled, but atleast the least possible must be done to make a light polluted source usable. Well, this is absolutely possible now. Thanks to the ground breaking innovation of Hugh O’Donnell and Dr. Keith Gavin – Aquacube.
This marvelous product will turn filthy water into potable water. Isn’t it good news for all the poor people out there! Especially for women in the under developed countries of the world. It’s a pitiable sight to see these souls track distances in order to fetch some quenching fluid for their families. About how the entire thing is going to work out is certainly a pleasant surprise.
The water treatment plants will be housed in shipping containers which will have all the necessary equipment and power supply. The containers would also contain huge tanks for water storage. The most novel thing about the entire system is that a suitable method is undertaken to treat diverse types of water. And the treated water, apart to be used for drinking purposes, will also be available for industrial and irrigation purposes.
Aquacube is designed to be operated with minimum infrastructure and under the most demanding situations. Managed by small community groups, Aquacube is the perfect solution for people living in countries like Africa where the availability of clean drinking water is often the biggest problem. The shipping containers are supposed to be established near the villages to supply clean water.
One of the biggest advantages offered by Aquacube would be the long waited respite from water borne diseases. It is not an uncommon knowledge that a considerable proportion of infant deaths around the globe bears testimony to water borne germs. Adults have also not been forgiven its glory. Availability of potable water would mean fewer deaths among children due to diseases like cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid.
