Universities undertake research for provision of clean drinking water
2013-07-19
More advanced societies figured this out about a hundred-fifty years ago...
ISLAMABAD: Many leading universities of Pakistan are undertaking research in collaboration with foreign universities to resolve the issue of safe and clean drinking water.
You need an advanced degree to know how to purify water?
According to the HEC, Pakistani universities are collaborating with leading American and British universities to undertake the joint research projects throughout the country to ensure the access of clean drinking water.

More than 40 percent of the reported diseases in Pakistan are water-borne, as a majority of the population does not have access to clean drinking water.

Majority of the population depend on open water sources, including canals, rivers and wells, for domestic use, which are at a high-risk of being contaminated.

A study conducted by UNICEF found that around 20-40 percent of the hospital beds in the country were occupied by the patients suffering from water-related diseases, including typhoid, cholera, dysentery and hepatitis, causing one-third of all deaths. The report said, “An estimated 250,000 child deaths occur each year due to water-borne disease.”

#6  Population of Pakistan is about 180 million. If I dropped you there you would be ineligible for "not having shit in your water supply" because you can't beat up 180 million people.

#5  Not-shitting-in-your-water-supply is easy.

Keeping everyone else from shitting in your water supply is much harder.

"At the narrow passage there is no brother there is no friend." - old saying among people we are assured are morally superior to dead white protestant males.

#4  Thank you ,Shipman, for your vote of confidence. My recommendations are:
1. Follow big Jim's advice about not s**tting in your water supply. And boil water for drinking.
2. When that is established, and verified, we will talk about pipes and treatment.

1) Don't sh*t where you drink.
2) When in doubt, put it on the stove and boil the sh*t out of it for 10min.

There, done. Saved em some money.
