Disaster Aid Australia - Water Filtration System

SkyHydrant - Australia's Water Filtration System:

SkyHydrant was displayed at Sydney's Convention and Rotarian Ed Cox is flying to the Philippines to begin a series of instructional sessions and use.

It is used in the ongoing work of rebuilding communities after devastating earthquake and typhoons, by providing fresh water in disaster areas. SkyHydrant now has assumed a major part of DAI's work. Capable of delivering 1500 litres of safe drinking water each hour, it has become an important piece of equipment.

However since the outbreak of cholera earlier this year that affected over 450 families, it has become al  vital element in affected communities. DAI has redoubled its efforts on the ground to not only provide clean, safe water delivery systems, but also to ensure locals are fully trained in their installation, operation and maintenance.Rotary clubs in the Philippines (and here in Australia) are also playing an essential role.
