How We Help Impoverished Communities: 

Identifying the most cost-effective solution

   

There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to clean drinking water.

​

​​

Impoverished and  rural community drinking water:

• Low-maintenance filtration systems: can be installed to provide clean water for entire communities for less than $10 per day.​​

• Simple agricultural adjustments: can prevent toxin algae blooms in local drinking water bodies without sacrificing yields.

• Wetlands treatment systems:  can remove toxins and pollutants to improve downstream water quality AND stimulate the local economy. 

• Wells: can be dug for less than $2,000 and provide a continuous supply of clean water for up to 3,000 people for 20 years.

• Watershed management: identifying and preventing pollution input to rivers and tributaries rapidly improves downstream water quality. Simple agricultural adjustments can prevent toxin algae blooms in local drinking water bodies without sacrificing yields.

• In-lake management: Toxic algae and heavy metals are often due to nutrients and contaminants that are released from within a lake. We can identify the internal source of contaminants and the most cost-effective solutions to manage them and improve water quality.
