Disinfection of contaminated water by using solar irradiation
Article Abstract:
Contaminated water is a major source of gastroenteritis illness around the world especially in rural areas in developing countries. A portable low-cost solar unit was designed to disinfect unpotable water and it was found to be effective but further tests are needed before commercial production can be undertaken.
