Story of Swajal - clean water for the Indian masses
- 6 years ago
Quite the need of the hour, in India! With industrial pollution and effluent, to industrial laundry detergent, factory discharge, discharge from residential drains and everything in between, we abuse our rivers and water sources like there is no tomorrow.
Little do we realize, especially here in India, that the greatest resource over the next 50 years, will not be US$ forex reserves, military weaponry, industrial development, GDP, exports or governance, but the simple and plain availability of pure drinking water.
Swajal is an attempt to provide people with pure water in the villages and illegal settlements in India. In a country where water is a rare commodity, Advait Kumar noticed the lack of access labourers have to drinking water. In designing the Swajal vending machine, it solves two problems: power cuts and access to drinking water, thus even with the grid not being operational, purified water can still be available. The Swajal vending machine is engineered to use solar power, to cleanse contaminated water by putting it through various cleaning processes. It dispenses cold or normal water at the push of a button for only the fraction of the costs of bottled water. These, also not always the safest option. Swajal vending machines is currently available in four villages in the Delhi/ NCR area: Bijwasan, Dundahera, Mulhahera and Kapashera.
