Sustainable safe drinking water supply for rural areas as a point-like technology giving instant solution for the water-challenges with an investment value of less than €13-15 per capita and less than €3 per capita supply cost

Access to Drinkable water in rural and non-permanent urban supply systems in developing countries, especially in rural areas, but also in general, the supply of drinking water to the population and the condition of existing pipelines is extremely low. Drinking water supply in these areas is provided from partially undrinkable water sources and with or without partially and intermittently operating pipeline networks. Most water treatment systems require capital-intensive facilities, long years of construction with extensive distribution infrastructure and a labour force to operate it. This makes it challenging to deploy in rural areas, thereby limiting access to safe drinking water for many communities. PurAID® technology as a point-like solution where no pipeline construction is needed gives fast answer for the water challenges with an investment value of less than €13-15 per capita instead of the €500-2,000 per capita value need in the developed world (with pipeline included). PurAID® means a sustainable and affordable solution through high-quality, modern regenerable filter technology and via the packaging-free drinking water supply. PurAID® is a uniform technology that can be easily designed and installed into an existing cleaning line or as a new purification plant, there is no additional pipeline construction needed, which also means moderated investment need. PurAID® water supply for rural communities entitled to secure with short installation time the continuous safe water source for locals. One piece of PurAID® container plant can serve 2,000 – 3,000 people with healthy drinking water daily. It has the advantage of being able to produce potable water either as an end-of-pipe installation or by connecting to surface or groundwater. Protecting the environment and providing everyday healthy drinking water for people is not just about building innovative technologies. The long-term successful operation of facilities developed and implemented entirely on a tailor-made, local basis requires the training of local professionals and the education of the population, with special attention to the youngest generation. Preserving clean water sources and groundwater resources depends not only on building a modern infrastructure but also on education and awareness raising. Our model is not only about the innovative product we provide but also about involving the future generation by educating them on the value of water.
