Using the sun to sterilise water

Tanzanian villagers have begun using an energy-saving method to sterilise their drinking water - leaving the water under the sun.

 

Rose Longwa says the process is very simple

The piped water supply to Ndolela village in the central Iringa region is intermittent and even when it does flow, it is not clean enough to drink.

 

When the pipes run dry, villagers get water from a dirty spring.

 

Mother of five Rose Longwa says the new process has changed her life.

 

"We no longer suffer from stomach illness. That's because the water is clean and safe."

 

Like many other people in rural Africa with no access to safe drinking water, she used to sterilise her water by boiling it.

 

But she says the smoke from the firewood to heat the water used to irritate her eyes. She is also glad she no longer has to go to fetch wood from the bush.

 

Ultra-violet rays

 

About 40 houses in Ndolela are using solar purification.

 

Mrs Longwa says the process is simple to follow.

 

We need to educate the people

Plan International

"I fill the plastic bottles, put the lids on, then put them on my black-painted roof where they stay for a whole day."

 

The sun heats the water, helped by the black roof, which helps to absorb the heat.

 

Solar radiation means a combination of ultra-violet rays and heat destroys the bacteria which cause common water-borne diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery and diarrhoea.

 

After eight hours in the sun, it is ready to drink.

 

If the water reaches more than 50C, it is safe in just one hour.

 

Pastor Moses Kwanga from the Diocese of Ruaha is behind the project:

 

"The technology is very easy, but up to now people have not been told about it. We can use old pieces of roofing to put the bottles on. It is also very cheap, so is accessible to everyone."

Put the water in the sunlight a good place is a reflective surface. The sun beams contain UV-A rays that can pass through and kill most germs in the water. The oxygen helps to amplify this process

The amount of time you have to wait depends on the weather. If there are only little clouds in the sky, it takes 6 hours.

If there are about 50% or more clouds, you have to expose the water for 2 days to the sunlight.

If it is raining all time, this method doesn't work. Collect rainwater inst
