Born into poverty, my insatiable curiosity ignited a passion for science and problem-solving. I fearlessly embraced challenges, finding solace in the natural world and its boundless wonders. Guided by an innate sense of freedom, I honed my skills in math, physics, and computer science, laying the foundation for innovative projects. Witnessing my mother’s daily struggle to obtain clean water inspired me to embark on a mission to solve the water crisis. With unwavering determination, I merged creativity and scientific expertise, harnessing nature’s secrets to create a sustainable solution. This is the story of an adventurous spirit, driven to transform dreams into reality, ensuring that every person has access to life’s most precious resource: clean and abundant water.
Tell us what the water concern in your country is!In water-scarce Bangladesh, rivers turned saline and groundwater tainted by arsenic, 70 million people suffer. They embark on endless journeys, walking miles for a drop of clean water. A crisis grips the nation, yearning for respite from this thirst that knows no end.
This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:In a world of scarcity, I created a solar-powered marvel. Using abundant sunlight and activated carbon from coconut shells, I designed a water purification system. It conquers the salinity challenge and overcomes arsenic contamination, offering sustainable relief to those in need of clean water.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Water Purification for Highly Polluted and Saline Sources Using Solar Powered Distillation and Activated Carbon.
The project aimed to address the salinity and arsenic contamination of water sources in Bangladesh through a solar-powered distillation system and activated carbon treatment. The study found that the treated water samples demonstrated significant improvements in various parameters, including pH, TDS, EC, DO, BOD, COD, salinity, and arsenic levels, making them safe for consumption. The solar-powered distillation system effectively removed impurities and dissolved solids, while the activated carbon treatment eliminated additional harmful substances. The system proved to be cost-effective, eco-friendly, and scalable, offering a promising solution to the global water crisis. By providing clean and safe drinking water, the project aimed to improve the health and well-being of affected communities and contribute to a sustainable future.
