WaterHealth International: Clean Water Solutions
Presenter: Susan Addy, Postdoctoral Scholar, WaterHealth International

Access to clean, safe water is one of the world’s most urgent health crises. WaterHealth International's mission is to achieve unprecedented scale in providing affordable, clean, and safe water worldwide in order to save lives and enhance economic development. WaterHealth’s unique combination of break-through technology and innovative business models enables the delivery of highly affordable, clean water to even the most remote, low-income rural communities. WaterHealth's business approach to this challenge includes partnerships for implementation with commercial institutions, international agencies, local and central government bodies, and non-governmental organizations. The offering includes a health and hygiene education program to encourage higher adoption rates. These partnerships facilitate rapid deployment of the company's products and associated services and enable realistic potential expansion to a global scale. WaterHealth’s modular community-owned water "micro-utilities" are designed especially for rural and peri-urban communities. Each facility, known as a WaterHealth Centre, utilizes a multi-stage filtration system in conjunction with the company’s proprietary, breakthrough ultra violet light disinfection technology, UVWaterworks™. The technology is highly efficacious against a broad spectrum of microbial pathogens, and the integrated system purifies and disinfects water with high microbial contamination, to produce safe, potable that meets or exceeds WHO guidelines. WaterHealth's products are engineered with the highest quality standards for low maintenance, low environmental impact and high efficiency. WaterHealth has more than 600 installations of its water purification and disinfection systems in developing countries around the world. WHI’s recent focus has been primarily on India, where the company has completed more than 200 WaterHealth Centres.
