Problem: Lack Of Water

3,400,000 people die per year due to lack

of water

About 1 person every 10 seconds

Lack of sanitary water is the #1 cause of

hospitalization

780,000,000 lack access to clean water The water and sanitation crisis kills more

people than guns in any major war

Current Solution - Wells

Falling Hazard Many die from falling in wells
Unsanitary water Water provided by current wells contains many contaminants Low availability of water Wells produce very little water Ineffective distance from villages Villagers have to walk for miles to gather from wells

Alternative Solution - Billboard

Condenses water from

high humidity areas

Pros: Eco- Friendly Endless supply of water

Cons: Only effective in areas with high humidity Falling hazard (earthquakes) Only generates about 25 gallons per day Only functions with electricity.

Kenyas Aquifer
Contains 66 trillion gallons of fresh water 43.18 million citizens in Kenya could supply population for 70 years Refills with 898 million gallons annually

produces more than traditional wells ground

production increase)

Safer than holes in the

Complex Manufacturing Produces Greenhouse

Cleaner water

Total Cost: $14375+ (normal well costs about $7,000)

Action Plan
Contact companies such as: Water.org , Unicef , Water

Wells for Africa and Drop in the Bucket Manufacture the parts then ship it to impoverished areas. Drill into Aquifer under Africa, and provide water to those without it. Start in Kenya and expand with funding
