Clara: Remotely monitored, energy and chemical-independent chlorination system for rural areas

Innovate - Drinking Water

Project summary

In Ethiopia, where 80% of a total population of 120 million people lives in rural area, only 5.25% has access to safely managed drinking water services. Especially in rural areas, 70 up to 80 % of fecal contamination is caused by water re-contamination during transport and storage in dirty jerry-cans.

Clara solves the problem of water re-contamination by continuously chlorinating water flowing in a pipe using only kitchen salt and solar energy. With Clara, we can provide safe drinking water at low cost and ensure sustainability in the long term as support can be provided thanks to remote monitoring service.
