Water and electricity are among the first basic amenities to be hit after the occurrence of most natural disasters.
However, the situation will soon be a thing of the past with a cooperative project by Spectra Watermakers, Inc., of San Rafael, California and Trunz Metallchnik AG of Switzerland, called the Solar Cube.
The machine is completely portable and can be easily assembled on site. It is powered by sunlight and wind, and can provide up to 3,500 gallons of clean drinking water per day, from polluted water or salt water.
The Solar Cube works by placing a pump, which is attached to the machine, into a polluted water or salt water source. The water is pumped through a series of filters to remove large matter. At the final stage, the water is filtered through a reverse osmosis membrane, which dispels all bacteria, viruses, salts and dangerous chemicals.
Look out for more interesting updates in the next issue of Water IDeaS.
