摘要

Beside the fact that a huge effort still is needed to provide safe drinking water at community and family level, there are many different ways to make safe drinking water available and affordable for family use in low-cost countries and emergencies. Chlorination is the most common practice both for providing safe water at large-scale schemes for villages or urban settlements by batch treatment and for families by disinfecting the collected water with tablets. This way of providing safe water has many advantages mainly because it makes the water safe also during carrying it home and handling it at family place. The provision of safe water relies on the proper dosing of chlorine and the availability of chlorine in the respective form, such as powder, tablets, liquid gas, etc. However, chlorination has also been difficult to introduce due to the changes in water taste, which has often made the population to go back to non-treated traditional sources. Usually, an effort is needed in health education to make a community to accept and to welcome chlorinated water as a safer drinking water supply. In conclusion from many water projects, it can be said that the taste change of the drinking water is an underestimated obstacle in improving the health of a population by providing treated water. Water filtration practices have been introduced at the household level at many places with quite different results. Small household sand-filters were constructed and showed to reduce the water-related diseases (e.g. Mol 2001). There is still an enormous potential to spread this filter technology. Filters with micro-pores, which do not allow harmful bacteria to pass, are based on a technology, which allow water to be made safe and guaranteed bacteria-free at any place. Such filters are mainly known as the ceramic filters used worldwide in expat-households. Until now, the price and the set-up have not made it possible to provide this water treatment at family level of low-income and poor settings. An inexpensive micro-filter system working on gravity and producing safe water right where you need it is going to be introduced. Applications for this type of filter might be for a traveller, an individual working in emergencies and in the field, a family or smaller institution such as a health station, a school or community centre.
