The Bio-sand Filtration Project aims to provide clean and hygienic drinking water to the community people throughout the season and protect the people from water borne diseases. The project was initiated to solve the issue of "Unhygienic Drinking Water" where the community people lacked awareness on filtration process and safe drinking water.
Bio-sand Filtration is a system of filtering the contaminated water through layers of stone, gravel and sand. The project supported community people to build the bio-sand filtration system. A three step filtration tank of 4180 cubic ft. was constructed under this project. The community people of Lamidanda and Kaphaldanda of Sikharpa, Godawari Municipality-6 has been comsuming the filtered water after the completion of Bio-sand Filtration Project.
I am relieved that we finally completed our filtration project and distributed filtered water to the community people. It feels joyful to get filtered water coming in our household taps and people are also happy to access clean and hygienic water. Before, we used to get dirty water from the tap especially during the rainy season. But now, we are getting clean water even during the rainy season so, we are very happy. We are continuing to distribute the water from filtration tank.
