Traditional Options Come with Unwanted Consequences
Whether it’s a natural disaster, power outage or disease outbreak, the loss of safe water and disinfectant is detrimental to health and safety. And the typical responses include sending heavy crates of bottled water—which is very expensive to ship and leaves tons of plastic waste behind—or using semi-trucks carrying reverse osmosis water treatment technology.
While effective for creating safe water, these large trucks require time to deploy, experts to operate, large amounts of electrical power and, depending on the type of disaster, the ability to navigate around debris and damage to reach the affected area.
After years supplying safe water and sanitation to international disaster areas, WaterStep recognized the need for a third solution that can quickly and easily provide safe water and disinfectant for those in need.
