VD.23-Safe drinking water in Eastern Uganda through gravity driven membrane filtration - ( EAWAG ).

This video describes the Gravity Driven Membrane (GDM) project of Eawag-Sandec in Eastern Uganda.

In this region, the majority of people get their drinking water from Lake Victoria, and the water is very turbid and contaminated. GDM filters remove protozoa, bacteria, viruses and turbidity from the water, making it safe for consumption.

At present, there are five GDM filter kiosk systems in place, and each provides up to 6000 litres of water per day to the schools and local communities.
