“A Dubai-based company is taking part in efforts to provide clean water to millions of people in flood-stricken areas of Pakistan.
The company, So Safe Water Technologies, has helped to install more than 100 water purification units in affected areas including Jacobabad in northern Pakistan within the past three weeks, said Sultan Mahmood, the company’s chief executive.
“Each unit can provide water for up to 10,000 people a day,” he said.
The flooding, the worst in 80 years, has destroyed roads, buildings and communications connections, and left millions homeless. It has also left millions without a supply of clean water. The United Nations warned last month that 3.5 million children were at risk of water-borne diseases such as cholera and dysentery.
The water purification systems, each weighing around 200kg and measuring one metre by 1.5 metres, can make water taken from Pakistan’s flooded rivers safe for human consumption.”
