Hello all
My friend in Nepal has sent me this query, I wonder if any of you can help with suggestions for appropriate solutions.
"I'm searching for an organisation that can give me professional information on water filter systems which could purify a water source for an entire village. We have a water source that gets contaminated by dead bodies, so we need immediate solutions to protect the villagers.
Any immediate solutions are most welcome.
Many thanks .

Fortunately, Nepal previously had an outstanding example of a cost-effective 24/7 water supply system in the village of Dhulikhel, Nepal in the Katmandu Valley. This system not only assured an adequate, affordable and sustainable water supply for the community but it was able to protect that water from contamination. Unfortunately, many of the people in the surrounding area did not fully recognize the value of this system and after successfully operating for over a dozen years it was allowed to revert to an intermittent system (3 or 4 hours per day) and consequently was no longer capable of protecting the water during delivery.
1. treat water with Potassium Permangnate; and 2. treat water with alum (liquid or solid, just before use.

1. Collect the contaminated water in a large container
2. Use Hydrogen Peroxide or a known treatment (IE: Bacquacil) to shock the water. I would refrain from chlorine as this can become costly to remove.
3. Obtain a 9-11 stage water purification filter system (Crystal Quest, Co.- low cost high output)to further purify the water for drinking.
4. Isolate the finished water in a secure distribution center
5. Use hydrogen peroxide and activated charcoal filters in the natural source water locations prior to the above critical potable treatment process.
6. These mini treatment systems could be set up in multiple locations .
This is a basic concept which can be easily deployed and executed by the teams of responders already in place. This idea could help to serve groups across wider areas of the impacted zones in Nepal.
There is also the method of distributing military field water purification filters and the Chemical purification tabs to individuals or small groups. U.S. soldiers are given this system to use in any water to produce usable drinking water.
A few years ago I discovered a unique standalone UF based filter unit which uses no electricity has a simple and effective manual backwash and can be installed as single units or in series for higher water output. I had installed these in areas of rural Maharashtra as a CSR project and found them to be very effective. Each unit treated to potable standards 500-700 L/Hour depending on input water quality. It required about 3-12 feet of head pressure and the water could be raised to that height and put in a overhead water tank with a simple solar panel. It is perfect for the rural context as well as disasters like the situation in Nepal.

PRODUCT : DESCRIPTION + METHOD & USE / APPLICATION :
(1) Mediclor-M :
is a liquid stable chlorine product available in 100ml. droper bottles used in households by putting 4 - 12 drops in a 10 litre pot of drinking water.
Mediclor-M dominates infections like cholera, gastro, diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid etc.
3 bottles of 100ml. Mediclor-M can suffice a family of 5 persons for 3 months of safe drinking water requirement.
One 100ml. bottle can last a family for their safe drinking water requirement for one month.
Our company is distributing Mediclor-M through medical shops and through Govt. of Mahashtra Rate contract to prevent water borne diseases and epidemics for last 30 years.
In Maharashtra we have successfully prevented epidemics for Government of Maharasthra in many dire situations like floods, earthquake in the past a few certificates are enclosed for your perusal.
Due to our efforts, the health department of Government of Maharashtra as well as various CEO's and DHO's of Zilla Parishads (VILLAGE COUNCIL'S) and Health officers of various Muncipal corporations are fully convinced that by round the year use of Mediclor-M in households, waterborne infections of diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, typhoid etc are drastically reduced thereby saving health burdon cost as well as loss of productive manpower due to sickness in the state.
Also in situations like floods, earthquake epidemics, using of Mediclor-M is a boon and can save many lives which are usually lost due to waterborne diseases.
MEDICLOR - M :
Poor water quality spreads disease, causes death and hampers socio-economic progress. Around five million people die due to waterborne diseases. In addition, these diseases affect education and result in loss of work days, estimated at 180 million person days annually-Ref Water world NGO
Forty five per cent of India's children are stunted and 600,000 children under five die each year, largely because of inadequate water supply and poor sanitation
It is estimated that around 37.7 million Indians are affected by water-borne diseases annually, 1.5 million children are estimated to die of diarrhoea alone, and 73 million working days are lost due to water-borne diseases each year. Ref-water world NGO
Mediclor-M contains FDA approved safe chemicals.
Few drops of Mediclor-M in a pot of drinking water eliminates all inflecting bacteria and makes any available water safe for drinking.
Mediclor-M is very cost effective.
One 100ml. bottle gives 2500 lit of safe drinking water and costs only Rs 10 paisa for 10 litre of safe drinking water Makes any available water safe for drinking.
Mediclor-M has been very effectively used by Government of Maharashtra at the time of Latur Earthquake, Mowad Flood and in many epidemics from 1987.
Mediclor-M is extensively used by Maharashtra Health Department as household drinking water disinfectant to prevent waterborne diseases like cholera, gastro, diarrhoea, dysentery.

CHLORITARD :
===============
As one CHLORITARD pouch works effectively for at least 30 days, the problem of climbing up the ESR
every day is eliminated. This leaves very little scope for irregularity & lapses in dosing, which are more harmful.
When CHLORITARD pouch is suspended in water storage tank Calcium does not get transferred to water
but remains in the pouch. This eliminates problem of sludge formation and recontamination of water.
CHLORITARD: The most effective technology best suited for point of consumption water disinfection. Chloritard can be simply
described as “scientist’s dream product” as it fulfills all the criteria
CHLORITARD Prevents quick release of CHLORINE and Maintains free Chlorine level
to more than 0.2 ppm
CHLORITARD is the unique way to treat / disinfect entire bulk of water required for all activities at the ‘Point of consumption’.
When a CHLORITARD pouch is suspended in a water storage tank, it releases chlorine slowly in the water for a period of at least 30 days continuously.
The amount of chlorine released is sufficient to kill the bacteria present in the water as well as maintain desired level of free residual chlorine (above 0.2 ppm) for inhibiting rejuvenation and propagation of bacteria by “Dark Repair” process.
Thus, the water treated with CHLORITARD becomes totally safe and hygienic.
Since chlorine gets released very slowly, CHLORITARD has much longer shelf life as compared to that of
bleaching powder. While using CHLORITARD it is not necessary to ascertain the chlorine demand of water because
CHLORITARD pouch automatically releases amount of chlorine required to satisfy chlorine demand and
maintain free residual chlorine Only the required quantity of chlorine is released
hence there is no possibility of excess chlorine,which is commonly observed by any other methods
of dosing chlorine.
Thus chloramines formation possibility is remote when Chloritard is used for water disinfection. Hence
the only disadvantage of using chlorine for water disinfection can be eliminated.
The chlorine level of the water being treated with CHLORITARD remains consistent for a period of at
least 30 days. Therefore problem of drastic variation in chlorine levels with time encountered in other
methods of chlorine dosing including by bleaching powder is totally eliminated.
As one CHLORITARD pouch works effectively for at least 30 days, the problem of climbing up the ESR
every day is eliminated. This leaves very little scope for irregularity & lapses in dosing, which are more harmful.
When CHLORITARD pouch is suspended in water storage tank Calcium does not get transferred to water
but remains in the pouch. This eliminates problem of sludge formation and recontamination of water.
Thus it can be said that Chloritard a month - KEEPS A DOCTOR AWAY.

I would suggest contacting Yang Wei-fuu (楊偉甫), vice economics minister and director-general of the Water Resources Agency, organizer of said panel and also from Chinese Taipei, to ask about implementing the Q-water system in Nepal.
Is this water resource comes from an underground reserve area?
