Borehole water treatment
Because of water’s particular di-polar nature, it is very rare that water abstracted from a borehole is fit to drink without treatment. If not contaminated by industry or agriculture, borehole water treatment would invariably involve;
- adjustment of pH
- removal of iron and manganese
- removal of dissolved salts (if the electrical conductivity exceeds 170 mS/m)
- removal of heavy metals such as copper, lead and zinc
- micro-biological disinfection
Modified shipping containers are ideal for housing the unit treatment processes.

Rainwater Harvesting
Rain water harvesting is a wonderful way to make use of a free resource and minimize demand on the local Municipal Supply.
Like many other types of lunch, this one is also not free.
Considerations include
- roof area and collection logistics
- treatment (solid material, gloop and pH stabilization)
- storage
- Re-use and distribution
