Over a billion people fall sick every year from drinking dirty or contaminated water. Most of them might also die needlessly from water – borne diseases, come from the underdeveloped villages that lack means to build expensive large volume water tanks and systems in their areas.
What we in more developed cities take for granted, portable water, is a staggering social, economic issue and health problem that has reached a very critical level for the world’s poor. As of its sever unavailability, mainly out of countless lives, ignorance is broken or made powerless.
To build an effective drinking water system;
Find a good water source
An excellent sources for drinking water are surface overflow or natural sprints from mountain aquifers. Relatively areas which are not near must be pumped up to the user. These both sources are the easiest to filter as you do not have to invest in a water pump or artesian well to get water trapped underground.
Materials to use
At the outset, if a village is sadly below a hill or a mountain overflow or spring source, fence off the source to lessen its contamination. Next, build a strong platform at a short distance from the area, made of coconut lumber or bamboo, just high enough to protect it from heavy rains and animals. A holding tank can also be placed at the top of the platforms to ensure adequate supply, notable during the summers.
Operational mode
NGOs can also help in arrangement for good drinking water supply. They ensure that drinking water is available in villages 24/7. These NGOs can help in identifying the ground water source at villages, accomplish bore well, establish a solar energy pump in bore well and also build over heard tanks which have connections to household and streets. A good drinking water source is a must to lead healthy and peaceful life.
