6 Problem with water pollution and accessibility to potable drinking water has become a global crisis In the Philippines, access to clean and safe drinking water remains a problem both in rural and urban areas DOST-ITDI o o o 20% of total population no access to potable water (NSO) 432 municipalities with 50% service coverage (waterless municipalities) 6,000 premature deaths a year caused by waterborne diseases

7 Potable Water Supply Sources Water Districts 15% 5% 17% Big Private Operators 8% 9% Self-Provision 46% Community-Based Association/NGO's Unimproved Water Sources/Roofwater SSIP(mostly truckers)- suppliers DOST-ITDI

8 Water Consumption: 8 glasses per day/person Total Philippine Population: 104 million (as of 2013) Costs of purified water: 350 ml - P ml - P L - P gals P35.00-P40.00

9 Contaminants such as microorganisms and particulates present in tap and ground water cause the spread of water-borne diseases Micro-filtration (e.g. ceramic-based micro-filters) is a proven technique to take out such contaminants The DOST thru ITDI can provide an innovative solution in ceramic filtration to take out microbial/particulate contaminants in drinking water for use in household level ceramic filter with NANO anti- microbial coating

10 Ilocos Sur Pampanga Tarlac Aklan Bacolod Daro Misamis Oriental Bukidnon Sultan Kudarat Isabela La Union Aurora Camarines Sur Sorsogon Leyte Davao Cagayan de Oro Lanao del Norte South Cotabato - With potential as ceramic filter raw material

11 Formulated with red clay and coated with nano anti-microbial agent to eliminate water borne microorganisms; Purifies tap water, deep well water and raw water (from ponds and spring); Lodged in a plastic container provided with a faucet at the bottom for collection of the filtered water.

12 Easy to install/assemble Easy to handle and maintain Reasonably priced Makes safe, potable drinking water readily available and accessible even in remote areas.

13 Distributed pot filters to NHA households in Muntinlupa City and Cagayan de Oro City Feedbacks/Comments: Nagagamit sa pagluluto Masarap ang lasa ng tubig Nakatipid sa pagbili ng mineral water Maayos walang problema Medyo mabigat Matrabaho Kailangan maingat sa paglinis Sa unang paggamit, may amoy ang tubig There was no reported/observed adverse effect on the health of the users.
