We previously reported on our first PurAID® WATER project, and now we show you how the IDWP concept has become a reality in just a few months.
PurAID® WATER, an Independent Drinking Water Provider (IDWP) Concept, is a sustainable approach to point-of-use drinking water treatment solutions.
The Independent Drinking Water Provider Concept aims at:
- Increasing access to clean and safe drinking water
- Providing new borehole water supply facilities and rehabilitation of existing facilities
- Establishing partnerships with relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, community groups, research institutions and private sector entities
- Contributing to public health by reducing waterborne diseases and health risks associated with contaminated groundwater.
In addition to its positive physiological effects, we can minimise the environmental impact by replacing single-use plastic bottles with reusable jerrycans and powering the IDWP kiosk with solar panels, a renewable energy source.
The Independent Drinking Water Provider Concept is a sustainable and low-power solution and a promising sustainable approach first for Ghana as a maiden location.
This video is about the concept and how it was received by the local community of Assin Amoabin.
