I wrote two weeks ago about Water: New source of corporate Mantra but here I am going to talk about different phase of water and its solution i.e., SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection). At least one third of population in developing countries doesn’t have safe drinking water. Everyday 4,000 children dying because of water borne diseases.
Is any solution available that is easy, accessible and free of cost? SODIS is simple, sustainable, low cost solution for drinking water treatment at household environment. SODIS uses solar energy to destroy microorganism causing water borne disease. SODIS process is very easy to use:
1- Take clean PET bottles (Coke, Pepsi),
2- Fill with water
3- Place in sun for next six hours.
For this process PET bottle is more useful than glass bottles because it is easily available in remote areas, low weight and chemically stable.
SODIS is already in used more than 20 countries such as Indonesia, Kenya, India and many more. What can we do? It’s available everywhere, sustainable but limited to reach so, need to spread the word. Full Information is available at

Nice Work
