Around the world , every year , millions of people die
a premature death by drinking dirty water , teeming with harmful pollutants /
bacteria / germs
This is especially true of our country where , 6.5 lakh
villages do not have a supply of filtered piped water to their homes
Millions of people living in these villages depend upon
water sources such as open wells / bore wells / ponds / rivers , around which
village women wash their dirty cloths / vessels and take baths
Even the dirty water flowing out of huts / homes, gets
absorbed into the soil surrounding these water sources and further pollutes them
!
All of these water sources are highly polluted and the
traditional method of filtering with a thin cloth is just not enough to remove
those pollutants
True , some germs / bacteria can be killed by boiling
the water and then cooling it before drinking
But , to do that , one needs to burn wood / cow dung
cakes , which cause air pollution and deforestation !
And , of course , villagers cannot afford expensive
methods such as :
* Reverse
Osmosis
* Water Heating
Stills
* Desalination
Plants
What they need is some SIMPLE AND CHEAP method , which does not require ,
* burning of
wood / cow dung cakes
* supply of
electricity
* frequent replacement
of expensive filters
* difficult
maintenance
It is very heartening that a team of scientists have
just come up with such a method
By draping black,
carbon-dipped paper in a triangular shape and using it to both absorb and
vaporize water, they have developed a method for using sunlight to generate
clean water with near-perfect efficiency

I urge Shri
Nitin Gadkariji ( Minister for Water Resources ) to contact these scientists at

SPEED MATTERS
Our patented carbon nano-material cloth has the ability to evaporate
water at rates of up to 1.4 kg per square meter per hour
