Clean Up the World Provides Water Filters in Tsunami Areas
Austrailan Broacasting Corp., reports Clean Up The World is providing to areas hit by the Asian tsunami.
Clean Up the World Chariman Ian Kiernan, says, "A rotting sea of sewage and sludge has poisoned any wells or streams within its reach. In places like Asia, providing safe drinking water is a major priority for the international humanitarian effort."
The filters, developed by Memcor, contain microporous hollow fibre membranes, which are essentially drinking straws with a microporous wall structure. The end product is then disinfected with chlorine.
I applaud Clean Up the World's efforts.
