Save the Rain

Posted by: Alan Mokbel in Untagged  on

Other than using this blog for technical information sharing and a bit of PR, I wish to also use it to share resources and promote website and organisms that are working in the field of water and have an important impact of said resource.

I came accross Save The Rain, a project dedicated  to teaching the developing world how to harvest rain water and use it is a source of potable water.

Now, I have my reservations about drinking rain water directly, without any treatment. Most rains are acidic, as far as I know, and I would be more comfortable doing some type of preliminary treatment before drinking it.


New Organisations in the Water World

Posted by: Alan Mokbel in Untagged  on

The availability of fresh water sources, or lack thereof, is being felt every day, especially in the developing world. So much so, that organisms and associations are being created to help face this issue.

One of these organisms is Safewater International. Their mission is quite simple: To identify clean drinking water solutions for the poorest rural areas of the world and to promote local marketplace involvement in delivering those solutions.

If you wish to have more details, you may visit their site at: www.safewaterintl.org


Residential Greywater Treatment Ideas

Posted by: Alan Mokbel in Untagged  on

A friend of mine asked me to look into some solution to treat grey water (mostly for laundry and dishwasher) and to reuse it for his lawn.
 
I was curious to know if you have ever used/sold or know if any piece of equipment that can do that.

Awaiting comments and suggestions...
