NATRUALLY CLEAN WATER
UNIV 392 | Spring 2019
OUR MISSION
To Provide clean water in a sustainable, affordable way for the people of Ghana.
There is a need for clean, filtered water in Ghana. To solve this problem, we have made efforts to create a slow sand filter to be implemented in Ghana. A Slow Sand Filter has been used to prevent the spread of disease for over 150 years. Although these systems are slow, they are cost-effective and, thus, sustainable for low income countries. The system is set up so that the top layer of sand physically filters the water as well as biologically treats it through the use of biological organisms to remove pathogens.
"At the human level, water cannot be seen in isolation from sanitation. Together, they are vital for reducing the global burden of disease and improving the health, education and economic productivity of populations."
