This year, the University of Strathclyde's team set out to tackle the water shortage being faced in Lobitos and Piedritas. Our proposed solution was to develop solar desalination units which separate clean water from salt and other nasty impurities that are present in the ocean's water. Desalination is the perfect method of filtration to suit Peru's hot & sunny climate. The system runs purely on the Sun's light energy and does not require electrical power; making it a very affordable and reliable solution. Every unit can produce 10-15 litres of drinkable water daily: so arranging the units in multiple 'water hubs' would provide the entire population with drinking water, regardless of economic class or income. Providing a reliable source of water would have a massive impact on the community: allowing adults to work effectively in the hot climate, giving hospitals the ability to provide better health care, helping local businesses to improve the comfort of their services, and eliminating water-related illness in young children.
