The main objectives are as follows:
To get an overview on the situation of drinking water provision in rural regions of Latin America.
To get an overview on the one hand on water treatment technologies applied in rural regions of Latin America and on the other hand on commercially available devices for decentralised drinking water purification.
To make suggestions for sustainable water management in rural villages in Latin America.
To set up design guidelines for decentralised drinking water purification systems powered by solar energy.
To couple treatment devices for decentralised drinking water provision to photovoltaic systems and to develop by this way stand-alone water purification systems.
To install two water purification systems powered by solar photovoltaics in two pilot-villages, one in the province of San Juan, Argentina, and the other one in the State of Mexico, Mexico.
To disseminate the experience gained in the project
