The costs of safe water depends upon the purpose (or amount) of the water desired.
1. Household Water Filters. These filters purify drinking water for a family's use.
- LifeStraw Family Filter - $40 each.
- Bio Sand Filter - $40 each.
2. Rainwater Harvesting Systems. These systems collect rain water for a family's or institution's use. They cost about $2,000 but it depends on the size of the tank and need for gutters.
3. Water Wells. The wells provide water to a village or community. The cost depends on the depth of the well and the type of pump used.
- A water well with a solar electric pumping system costs about $8,000 including solar panels and tank.
- A water well with a hand pumping system costs about $6,000.
