2 Rain Water Catchment River Mass storage 60,000 L Capacity Agriculture Waste water Daily water storage Filter Daily potable storage Bio diesel Housing Drinking Showers Washing Toilets 40 L/day 16 L/day 24 L/day 80 L/day 100 L/day 300 L/day 50 L/day 3.4 in. avg./mo. 1.5 L per ft 2 in 680 L/day Roofspace: 4000 ft 2 200 L/day Cooking 40 L/day Back up water source 300 L/day

3 Catchment and Treatment System 4000 ft 2 Mass Storage P P Filter Agriculture and Wastewater 350 L/day Potable 300 L/day

4 Holding tank 4 foot prototype Gravity feed Flow Rate = 99.2 L/m 2 *day Diameter = 6 in = 0.152 m Experimentation/Prototyping Objective: Filter 300 L/day

5 Volume ~ 200 L 0.57 m dia. 0.85 m high We will need 6 – 8 filters. Anticipated flowrate = 130.4 L/m 2 *day Area experimental = 3.0 m 2 Area theoretical = 2.3 m 2 Biological Slow Sand Filter Design Schmutzdecke Collection Piping

6 Clean waterPrimary effluent Testing for Coliform Methods: Laboratory One time use field tests Presence tests Local means Pros: Reveals Fecal coliforms Other bacteria Portable Easy to Use Cons: Cost - $10/each Non-reusable Restricted to occasional use

7 Enjoy Clean Water! Clean bio-layer Switch filters Set flow rates Pump water Ownership Responsibility Better Health Added Convenience User Experience User Attributes User Actions

8 Business Model The CYEC kids will own the system and they make it a success by applying the system to other applications Goal: Provide reliable and cheap means of Coliform testing to the eco-village and the near-by communities. Will be saving $500 per year in Municipal Water costs! Start up cost: $1,684.70
