+ + Water is one of the most imperative substances to life. With an ever + increasing population, there will need to be more sources of water to + be treated and tested. This however is not so easy in developing + countries, as time and resources may be scarce. That is why a need for + a water quality and filtration system that is affordable and easily + implemented is needed. +

+
- + A system that is able to detect harmful substances such as + Nitrates, Ammonia, Algae, Conductivity. pH, Turbidity will help + prevent detrimental intake of hazardous substances in water + +
- + Will greatly improve the quality of life of rural isolated + communities where clean drinking water is hard to get + +

- Activated Carbon +
- + Made from mixing charcoal and table salt in an aqueous solution. + The activation of carbon takes approximately 24 hours. This + material is cheap and effective in removing any particulates in + the water. + +
- UV-System +
- + In order to remove harmful pathogens, a UV System will be + developed. This will kill any bacteria by destroying the DNA + structure preventing further proliferation in the water + +

- + Removes any possible human error in filtering water. Gives a clear + analysis on water being treated + +
- + Using a UV system to calculate time needed for water to be exposed + for maximum power efficiency. By calculating volume of water and + level of contamination from feedback from other sensors. + +
- + An automated system is needed to monitor the life of the filter. + By measuring these parameters, one can confidently know when to + replace the filter. + +
