About the solution
Water Filter
Countries like Bangladesh and Cambodia have abundant surface water sources, but water quality is a concern. Water filters are an excellent solution in these environments. BioSand Filters (BSFs) provide clean water to families and can be scaled for schools. Solutions like solar-operated pond sand filters are preferred for communities. Layers of gravel, sand, biofilm, and UV light purify the water.
