Solar Distiller, Clean Water Access for Lobitos
Organization information
EcoSwell
Location: Lima, Peru
Summary
For some families in Lobitos access to safe drinking water is limited by its availability or cost. This situation can be particularly severe during El Nino weather events, which can disrupt the water supply to the whole town for days or weeks at a time. Our aim is to develop and build solar distillers that will give families the means to replace or supplement other sources of water, using just the freely available and locally abundant resources of sea water and sunshine.
