>Most
of the rural areas suffer from lack of treated water, ultimately
suffering from various waterborne diseases. Among various water
disinfectants, Chlorine solution (or sodium hypochlorite) is the
most effective chemical compound which destroys and inactivates
micro-organisms and pathogens in water. This project is based on knowledge transformation so once it is adopted; people can easily operate the new technology. The schools and communities will get better option for the purification of drinking water - which is socially and economically viable.
This project is focused towards producing chlorine solution locally from concentrated common salt solution. The produced chlorine will then be used by drinking water users’ committee and by the students/teachers (in their school) and their families to treat water for drinking purpose.
Once treated water is used, health condition will improve; thereby enhancing the livelihood of the general populace.
