Safe drinking water
In developing countries safe drinking water is not available for all. Naiade cleans and disinfects water using sunlight. The Naiade easy-to-install water purification unit kills all pathogens and makes drinking water safe without the use of chemicals.
In developing countries poor water quality is the leading cause of health problems. Eighty percent of all illness in developing countries is caused by polluted water. It is estimated that two million people die from these illnesses every year. Serious illnesses transmitted via polluted drinking water include: · Cholera, an extremely infectious and deadly intestinal disease · Typhoid fever, caused by the production of toxins by salmonella bacteria · Hepatitis A, an infection of the liver resulting in jaundice · Dysentery, an acute intestinal disease often resulting in death Safe drinking water for every communityNaiade can be used anywhere in the world. The system is reliable and inexpensive. Naiade is being introduced via organisations in various (developing) countries.Naiade is approved by KIWA, UNESCO-IHE and other national water authorities. |
