2023 | Ukraine | Student: Lyceum 142, Kyiv

Anastasiia Kozak

I was born on April 15, 2007 in Kyiv. Since 2017, I have been studying at Lyceum 142 in Kyiv. Every year I take part in Olympiads in various subjects. I took part at the finals of the National competitions: Eco-Techno Ukraine and GENIUS Olympiad Ukraine. Since 2020, I have been participating in the National competition for the defense of research works of students-members of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and won prizes. My hobbies are painting, debating and creative writing.

Tell us what the water concern in your country is!

In the conditions of war, the quality of drinking water becomes extremely important. Completely or partially destroyed water infrastructure facilities, soil and water resources contaminated with hazardous substances due to numerous rocket attacks and damaged industrial facilities - all this deprives people of access to safe drinking water.

This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:

Our team has developed a portable water treatment device that, unlike mobile complex surface or groundwater treatment systems, does not require an uninterrupted power supply. The use of such a device with a filter element of the "carbon block" type in extreme conditions allows to ensure the basic needs of the civilian population and the military in safe drinking water.
