Breve descrizione
|
The SODIS idea was fi rst used in the Water and Sanitation Programme in 2000, as one way for households to obtain safe drinking water. Initially there was much enthusiasm as people found SODIS easy to use and cheap compared to alternative methods like boiling. There were also some questions: does it really work?, will it kill the germs?, will it improve our health?
In order to answer these questions EAWAG and the Solaqua Foundation funded an 18 month project to test the SODIS effi ciency in Kenya and assess the technical, social and cultural acceptance as well as the impact of SODIS use on community health. From October 2002 to September 2003, 180 households in 5 self help groups in three distinct climatic zones in the rural areas of Kenya were monitored for waterborne disease incidence. 90 household used SODIS, 90 households did not use SODIS. The project sites were Kacheliba, Kaplelach and Matharu where CCS already had an active Water and Sanitation Project. |
