  1. Smart Water treatment Solutions New Low cost options for safe water at the Point of Use World Water Forum 6 Marseille 2012 Henk Holtslag Holtslag.dapper@kpnmail.nl

  2. Problems & challenges 0.7 Bln people without a safe water source* 3 Bln do not have safe water from utilities ** 1 Volume < 20 l /day/pp 2 Distance > 500 meter 3 Quality - Turbidity,mud, .. - Microbial, bacteria, viruses,.. - Chemical, arsenic, fluor,.. * 84% in rural areas (UNICEF 2009) ** Failing piped systems, recontamination in transport, at the house (IFC /world bank report, 2009)

  3. More water?Harvest rainwater Aquifer recharge - Sand, contour dams - Vegetation, Vertiver - Tube recharge, $10/500m3 Rooftop harvesting - Wire cement tanks: $20/m3 - Plastic lined tank

  4. Reduce distance? Repair existing pumps - 50% of piston pumps broken Upgrade hand dug wells - with a recharge, cover, low cost hand pump New water points - with pumps, low cost drilling Emas,Rota sludge, Baptist Jetting, $ 150 – 2000 /syst.

  5. Safe drinking water?Treat water at Point of Use (PoU) - Re-contamination between source & use - 50% hospitalbeds due to unsafe water,.. - Safe water most cost-effective action to reduce poverty

  6. Proposition To reduce water borne diseases it is more cost- effective to treat water at the Point of Use than at the source, via piped systems

  7. Efficiency of measures against diarrhoea (source: SIE 2009) 7

  8. Point of Use treatment 1 Point of Tap 2 Household Water Treatment and Safe storage (HWTS)

  9. Point of Tap - Water kiosks - Chlorine dispensors A drop of chlorine at the tap point

  10. Local Chlorine production WATASOL Users; over 0.5 Million Price; $0.3 - $ 1.0 Cost; $0.1 - $ 0.5 + - Extremely low costs - Local business development - Re-use of bottles - Can be used as disinfectant - - Requires much training

  25. No option is ‘the’ solution Turbidity Heavy Metals Viruses Bacteria Parasites Pesticides Boiling Filtering Chemicals Combined Chemical (PUR) UV SODIS

  26. Of all options, filters most effective in reducing diarhoea & preferred by users

  27. PoU Treatment can solve almost all water quality problems Clear but unsafe water from wells, .. + disinfection = safe water Dirty water from wells, rivers, pumps, . + a filter = safe water

  28. Salt, Arsenicum,Pesticides, … ? Rainwater storage + a filter = safe water

  29. Scaling up? Social marketing. Shift message from “Water = health” to Water = wealth”. Role NGOs, Governments. Large scale action; see Hystra study Supply chain.
