Our Water

Purification
System
By: Joana Batista and India Duarte

How dirty was the water before and

after?
We put water with dirt
and we mixed

The purified water

At first the water was brown and was full of dirt,

when it got purified it became clear but not

The cost of making the purification

system
Water bottle- 35mts (1.5L bottle)
Charcoal- 250mts (Big packet)
Filter Paper- 144mts (Order it online or find it

in special labs or universities)

How can this help in rural villages

This water purification system would be ideal

for someone with no resources at all that

needed clean water like in very rural villages
or survival. Most people in rural villages boil
water to get clean water because they don't
think of a purification water system.
I dont think we could really sell this type of
water system because its home made and
there is no production to it.
