Access to clean water is a point of concern for people in India, especially in rural areas. Though more and more people are using domestic and commercial water storage tank to store clean and fresh water, accessing clean water is still difficult. The rapid growth of population and a decrease in the level of freshwater are the basic reasons for this unavailability. This World Water Day, we are going to tell you about some of the technological solutions that have been invented to supply clean water.

Solar Powered Water Filtration

To remove contamination from water, filtering it, is necessary. However, the process of filtration can be expensive and power-consuming. This is why solar-powered water filtration is a god-sent technology that has a self-contained portable solar and wind-powered system. In developing countries like India, most sewage is discharged untreated in water sources by industries and households. This Solar-powered water filtration can provide 20,000 litres of clean water every day.

Fog Catchers

With groundwater supplies being used up, a lot of villages in the desert and the mountain regions have a severe shortage of water. Although this technology probably will work best in the cold weather, it is still a great provider of clean water. It was invented in a place in Morocco, that has an abundance of fog. Here, a huge vertical net known as the fog collecter is used. When the fog passes through the net, it goes into the collection system. From there, the water is filtered and mixed with the groundwater. Around 6,300 litres of water can be harvested daily with the help of this technology.

Desalination

As you know, 2/3rd of our Earth is made up of water. But unfortunately, most of these water sources are seawater. Israel was the country to come up with the process of desalination as they were experiencing drought for many years. This led them to build the first plant in the 1960s which removed salt and minerals from seawater. It will not only provide you with endless water supply but also clean and fresh water. Now, this process is used in 40 countries including, China, India, Australia, and the US.

The LifeStraw

How good will it be if you can get purified water anywhere you go, and you don’t even need to carry water with you? Well, LifeStraw is exactly for that. It is a portable drinking straw and can filter dirty and unsafe water. It has a unique filtration system that can purify at least 1000 litres of water. If you go to remote areas, this can come in very handy. Whatever water source you find, you can easily fill the Lifestraw and drink water from it.

This World Water Day, we hope that all these technologies and many more will be available in all parts of the world, especially in third world countries. If it does, the water crisis in certain parts of the country will certainly decrease. We also hope to remove the crisis of clean water ourselves. This is why we offer people domestic and commercial water storage tanks. These tanks can keep the water in your home or workplace fresh and clean all day long.
