Sure, here's an idea for a water disinfection/treatment system using solar energy

that you can consider:

Solar water pasteurization involves using the sun's energy to heat water to a
temperature high enough to kill bacteria and viruses that may be present. This can
be done using a simple solar water heater made from locally available materials
such as black plastic or metal sheets.

To build a solar water pasteurization system, students could start by designing a

solar collector that consists of a flat plate or a series of tubes or pipes. The
collector should be painted black to absorb as much sunlight as possible.

Next, students can create a water storage tank using a large container such as a
drum or a barrel. The tank should be painted black on the outside to maximize heat
absorption.

Finally, the solar collector and the water storage tank can be connected using
pipes or hoses, with a valve to control the flow of water. As the water flows
through the solar collector, it is heated by the sun's energy and then stored in
the tank until it reaches a temperature that is high enough to kill harmful
bacteria and viruses.

This system can be used to treat water from a variety of sources, including rivers,
lakes, and wells. By implementing a solar water pasteurization system in their
community, students can help provide a safe and sustainable solution for clean
drinking water.
