FOR PROFESSIONALS

This site is compiled for professionals in the government or developing organisations who are already working with the SODIS-method or other household water treatment methods or plan to do so in the future. It provides an overview of the project relevant information on our sites.

The SODIS-method

The SODIS-method disinfects with PET-bottles and sunlight contaminated drinking water. The water is filled in transparent PET-bottles and exposed to the sun for 6h. The UV-A radiation in the sunlight kills pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites (Giarda and Cryptosporidia).
