South Africa’s population is about 58 million people and the promise through law is that all people will have access to clean water and sanitation throughout South Africa. In reality, more than 3 million people do not have any access to water and more than 14 million people do not have access to safe water due to the lack of infrastructure and maintenance on existing infrastructure. This project approached one method of intervention that can help solve this water crisis not only within South Africa but within the world by exploring ways using sunlight to purify water.
