Michael Pritchard's water filter

            Hello, dear Lyudmila Vladimirovna, my colleagues and other readers of the Blog. My fourth message will be connected with the last blog in which about Coca-Cola and world problems was told. How is it possible to solve all these problems? Today I want to talk about possible ways of improvement of people life on the earth. One of the most important problems on the earth is the problem of drinking water. Here the reference: http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_pritchard_invents_a_water_filter.html

            I have listened to the Michael speech two times. At the first listening 95 % of the information was clear for me, his speech was accurate enough, not fast and, in my opinion, interesting. All of it has helped me to understand (without any problems) all that has been told by Michael.

            After the second listening I wrote down the basic thoughts and actions of the man. It helped me to retell the story in short way.

            At the beginning of Michael speech he speaks about scales of a drinking water problem. Very big quantity of people suffers from shortage of water, or drink the dirty, infected water.

            The governments of the countries speak a lot about this problem, but practically do nothing for its solving. Michael explains it that scales of this problem are too big and just all people are afraid of it and don't want to be engaged in it. Each 5 minutes four children die because of the use of poor-quality potable water in the world.

            But the man has tried to solve this question and has invented “Lifesaver”. Michael explains from the scientific point of view that through the filter invented by him no deadly and dangerous bacteria can go.

            After that hi passes to demonstration of the invention. Michael takes water from the river, adds dirt to it, sand, seaweed and so on. Then the man drops this water through his filter and receives clean, not infected potable water.

            Such small bottle can be used for 6000 liters of water. This invention will help to save with water deliveries, to avoid a basis of various camps (during natural disasters) and to save a great sum of money for potable water clarifications.

            Also Michael has invented the canister which can contain 25000 liters of water without filter changing. And the running cost of it is only 0,5 cent per day. It will be possible to reduce number of people suffering from shortage of potable water. And all dying people will live.

            In my opinion, this excellent invention is needed to be financed a lot. If it is so the great number of suffering people on the planet will decrease. Governments should develop similar inventions, instead of wasting money for useless actions and things. If struggle with a potable water problem by old methods it will be impossible to save African countries from this drinking "illness".

            Thanks for attention.
