In 2011 the United Nations Environmental Program recommended the BioSand Water Filter as part of the program for adapting to changes in water availability. Since then the Cabin Clean Water Filter was developed with all of the advantages over other types of BSF interventions.
The technology is effective, robust, culturally acceptable, simple to use and easy to implement by any organization. It can be made available in quantities appropriate for the enormous task at hand.
A CCWF treats most water supplies to a quality safe for drinking without using any additional energy or incurring any operation and maintenance costs. The CCWF will produce sufficient safe water for all household needs. It will last more than 20 years. The filters can be used as required, are portable and can be safely stored until needed.
CCWFs eliminate the need for bottled water. Plastic pollution is greatly reduced and there are significant energy savings by no longer manufacturing the plastic bottles themselves or the treated water inside them.
The CCWF technology is effective, robust, culturally acceptable and simple to use.
