Description:
This case study describes an innovative system for supplying safe drinking water to a small rural community in Mexico. A system has been developed that combines a rainwater harvesting pond followed by treatment of the water in a modular plant that works without electricity. A pilot study of the technology demonstrated its technical, social and economic feasibility.
