Last Week’s Meeting:

We were treated to a very informative and down to earth presentation on the

Disaster Aid Australia initiative – Skyhydrants by Rotarian Elaine

Bryant. Elaine who is a member of the Bairnsdale Sunrise Club has taken on a promotional role with Disaster Aid to

promote within East Gippsland the funding of these amazing water filters.

Whilst they can be found in many countries thanks to the ‘work’ of Rotary, Bhutan is the focus of the

efforts of Elaine District 9820. The Skyhydrant initiative is The DG’s

partner’s (Charlie Speirs) project for the year

Disaster Aid Australia is working with the SkyJuice Foundation to bring safe, clean, drinking water to communities in many countries that need safe drinking water.

• The SkyHydrant water purification unit produces safe drinking water without the need for power or chemicals

• The SkyHydrant is a low cost, lightweight (16 kg) portable and easy to deploy in the field

• Operating functions are simple and manual, with virtually no consumables

• Safe water for less than $1 per person per year • Designed to produce water for 500-1000 people as stand alone unit,

or can be configured for larger capacity. • A single unit can produce up to 1000 litres per hour. • Clean drinking water can be produced from the majority of non-

saline surface and ground water.

HowDoesTheSkyHydrantWork?The core of the system is an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane, consisting of thousands of microporous hollow fibres Harmful bacteria, micro-organisms, dirt and other contaminating particles are removed as they are unable to pass through the pores.

No chemicals, coagulants, pumps or energy are required for the filtration process

The system operates under gravity with a minimum head pressure of 1 metre.

Cleaning process is simple and manual.
