Description: Clara technology ensures safe drinking water in rural households, using locally- available and affordable resources.
In Ethiopia, where 80% of a total population of 120 million people lives in rural area, only 5.25% of them has access to safely managed drinking water services ( source ).
Especially in rural areas, 70 up to 80 % of fecal contamination is caused by water recontamination during transport and storage in dirty jerry-cans. This causes a lack of safe, clean drinking water at the household level in rural communities.
Clara solves the problem of water recontamination by continuously chlorinating water flowing in a pipe using only kitchen salt and solar energy .
