Abstract

In rural communities in regions with limited resources the provision of clean water remains difficult. The only water available is that from rain collection, wells, streams and lakes. Fecal contamination of water is very common and results in a high incidence of diarrhea, subsequent acute kidney injury and mortality particularly in the very young and old. Membrane filtration is a practical solution to this problem and recent innovation allows membrane filtration using recycled dialyzers. We, Easy Water for Everyone, have attempted to quantify the systematic effect on health outcomes by providing clean water using a manual high-volume membrane filtration device.
