Total Budget: $11,500

Area of Focus: Water and sanitation

Activity Type: Water: Supply/Access

Summary: Contaminated water source for a population of over 3,000 with 450 resident school children will be treated with this new system


A purification system will be purchased, shipped, delivered and installed for providing a clean water system for the Mori-Riverside school village located in Mori-Podu, India. This village houses and serves a population of approximately 450 school children consisting of orphans, dhalit (untouchables), as well as similar caste children from nearby families. The water supply treatment will serve an overall population of approximately 4500 individuals living nearby.

A local well water supply received a pilot team's water samply analysis of it's borehole and nearby pond water sources which formed the basis of this projects overall criteria for success in it's goals.

PRESENT WATER ANALYSIS RESULTS:

Borehole Water:

Color was 45 - indicating increase levels of contamination (should be <2)

Taste was not agreeable

Turbidity was 24 (<2 recommended) indicating particulates and dissolved solids in the water

High carbonate, calcium and magnesium levels from limestone source rock

E Coli present in the water - near surface contamination

Municipal Tap Water:

Color was 4 - indicating municipal water supply is filtered (should be <2)

Taste was agreeable

Turbidity was 3 (<2 recommended) indicating particulates and dissolved solids in the water were removed by filtering

E Coli present in the water - near surface contamination even in tap water

PLAN:

Add water filtration system to borehole to remove dissolved solids, remove any possible parasites, remove high levels of chemicals with alum and add chlorination system to kill E Coli and other bacterial infections.

Add chlorination system to municipal water supply near the input valve to the school to remove E Coli risk.
