VCC Benin Water Purifier Project
VCC Benin Water Purifier Project
The project involves introduction of water purifiers as a way to provide safe drinking water for households in Benin. Households simply pour untreated water into the water purifier. Water seeps through advanced and efficient filtration system, removing bacteria and other suspended solids, and treated water is stored in the barrel, which is easily accessed by turning on the faucet. The water filtration system requires no energy input or consumables. With a capacity to purify 3.5 liters of water per hour and a 15-year lifespan of the water purifiers. It will offer an affordable, long-term and zero emission solution for households that generally consume unsafe drinking water. It will not only dramatically increase access to safe drinking water but also reduce consumption for woody fuels previously required to treat drinking water, which will decrease environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.
