Hunter's comment

Cholera, dysentery and diarrhoea are diseases caused as a result of poor hygiene and lack of access to safe drinking water. Addition of chlorine to drinking water can remove pathogenic microorganisms, but the chlorine supply hardly reaches rural communities. What it they could produce it locally themselves?

WATA technology allows the local production of sodium hypochlorite for water treatment and disinfection purposes. It targets communities that lack access to a chlorine supply chain or to a drinkable water supply.

With salt, water and a source of electricity, sufficient quantity of chlorine can be derived from the process of electrolysis.
