estimates that more
than one billion people
lack safe acess to safe
drinking water,results in
millions of deaths each year from water
related diseases
4. Basic questions about
solar water disinfection system
What health benefits can be
directly associated with solar
disinfected drinking water ?
What factors infect people and

may grow
7. Location of solar cell : unit should be located
in such a place where maximum sunlight is
available
Turbidity of water : the turbidity of the water
should be low otherwise disinfection will be
difficult
8. Some scientific facts
• Sun exposure is to be considered to be the most important
cause of ‘natural disinfection’ in surface water bodies.
• The solar water heating was considered to be a superior
disinfectant of water based on its ability to ‘inactive more
than 99.9’ of fecal indicator bacteria
• The uv-B portion of the solar spectrum is the most
bactericidal causing direct ( photo –biiological) DNA damage
High turbididity sustainability
reduces UV-B transmittance water
causing decrease of elimination
efficiency.
9. Results of the experiment
• The results of the present study show that
sunlight ,given an appropriate intensity and good
water transpirancy is suitable to inactive
Fecal indicator bacteria
. The results from this study indicate that
temperature effects the degree of water
disinfection by natural uv radiation
. as the temperature of the water increased the
time needed to obtain maximum bacterial
inactivation required
10. MERITS OF THE TECHNIQUE
The technique is easy and simple to
apply.
This technique is economical.
No dangerous ,hazardous or toxic by
product are produced.
