Cow Sh*t to Clean Water: The Reasons & Science Behind It

I didn't drink purified cow feces to be sensational. I wanted to prove a point about how bad drinking water can be in the developing world and how easy it would be to change that for millions and millions of people.

every time i see this I get awed by the technology they have available.

[thestudent]

Yeah, I still amazed by this. And they cost like $25. $25 for a family of five to have clean water for three years. Even if it's not this particular device, there is no reason we can't afford to give every human being clean and safe drinking water..

Dude, that's amazing!

I agree. Global Poverty can be ended in our lifetime, but there's a lot more to do. :]

the bottom line is money nobody gives a fuck humans are so smart lets chase the paper !

[CPenguinHacks]

it looks liek some people here are INDIANS!

Instead of short term stop gap measures, why doesn't the all intelligent government build water purification plants that can serve entire regions, that way the money we hand out in foreign aid can go to other things than fighting the diseases that would no longer be prevalent, and the people would be healthy enough to could grow their own food instead of others sending in tons of it to them?

I really hope your successful with this!

@UnculturedProject fuck you don't take the piss.

[UnculturedProject]

@e102ewan Yes, we should also make sure it filters out kryptonite too - just in case Superman wants to drink some water. It's not particularly likely, but you know it could happen.

[e102ewan]

can it filter out uranium? I know it's not particularly likely to have uranium in your water but you know it could happen.

[fakmenow]

@thestudent Wow i might just buy some for fun!
