This portable water purification system allows you to create drinkable water from nearby water sources in the event of a disaster. The system was developed based on the concept of high efficiency, low cost, and easiness to use.
Background of Development
In the event of a major earthquake, torrential rains, or other natural disaster, it is anticipated to be in the emergency situation, resulting that public services of lifelines will be disrupted.
If the supply of water, gas, electricity, and other utilities become unavailable, it will be difficult for us to carry on with our daily lives.
If drinking water also becomes unavailable, this could have serious impact for our life-sustaining.
Assuming the emergency situation in which bottles of water reserved in preparation for a disaster run out and delivery of water by trucks might be delayed, we developed a system that would allow people to easily create drinking water from water sources such as pools, water tanks, reservoirs, wells, rivers, and ponds.
