Abstract

Access to safety drinking water is one of problems during and after emergency phase in disaster. Disaster victims have higher risk to get water-borned diseases due to lack of safety drinking water as well as poor hygiene and sanitation. Our invention is an appropriate technology which intended to provide humanitarian aid for disaster victims and solve the problem of drinking water supply in inaccessible area without complicated electricity or other energy sources. We modified a simple water treatment system prototype in tumbler size which can transform raw water sources into potable water. This prototype named TELAGA Tumbler, it consists of ceramic water filters which can filter 7,000 liters raw water. Raw water is poured into first container then filtered by ceramic filter which have 0.4 micron pores to relieve microbiological pathogens. Inside the ceramic filter, nano silver is coated as disinfectant agent and fill up with carbon-active to ameliorate the water taste. The prototype in tumbler size might help disaster victim to get drinking water easier without produce more plastic waste. Safe drinking water is urgently needed in fast response to save human life, this innovation might be part of the key to solve the problem in humanitarian aid response.
