Everyone Can Drink

Water is known to be the most important substance on Earth. Without water, we cannot continue to live on Earth. One in eight people worldwide lack access to safe and clean drinking water. Many people have no choice but to drink water they know is contaminated with potentially life-threatening bacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2015) reported that about 159 million people globally fetch untreated surface water from lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. Surface water sources in Africa are sometimes highly polluted. As far as water quality is concerned, water which is consumed or to be consumed by the human must be treated to achieve the desired water quality level according to Bain et al. (2014). “Everyone Can Drink” is a newly invented prototype which benefits all people especially Africans because it can help to filter the water to produce clean and safe water for drinking. This invention contains the Solar panel, water pump, oxidizing agent, filtration tank and UV light. The Solar panel absorbs the light energy from the Sun and converts it to electricity. While UV light is lethal to bacteria and viruses because of its high frequency that scrambles and damages their nuclear material, so that we can drink the water safely. The best feature of “Everyone Can Drink” is that it is portable. We can bring it anytime and anywhere. In the future, we want to make it known to the whole world.
