Problem Definition
Problem Statement Current State: In order to use the Better Water Maker (BWM) users must first pour the water through a cloth before being treated. Desired State: The device should clear particles from water to allow the BWM to operate more effectively. The device should be simple to use and operable by both women and children. Project Goals: Analyze the design selected by P13418 Improve the effectiveness of the Better Water Maker Notable Constraints: Must be usable by both women and children Only locally available materials may be consumed Must not negatively impact the smell and taste of water
Project Scope & Deliverables Project Scope o Eliminate particles greater than 5 microns in size o Produce a design that is economically viable for use in developing countries o Design the device to be reusable, and use only consumable parts that are locally available Deliverables to date o Functional prototype o Bill of Materials o Design Drawings o Assembly and manufacturing plan o Test plan and results
