Environmental Engineering Provides Safe Drinking Water in Kenya
The fi rst full-scale continuous fl ow solar disinfection system for a village community has been installed in Ndulyani in the Mutomo area of Kenya to supply safe drinking water for approximately 600 people.
The system has been developed over several years by successive research students under the supervision of Laurence Gill B.Sc. (1989), in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. The aim of the pilot project is to demonstrate the appropriateness of the technology – the robustness of the system, ease of installation and operation – and the acceptance of the system by the local community.
