Arsenic Removal Water Filter

Arsenic poisoning due to underground water is a big health concern in India, especially in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam and Manipur. The main objective of this project is to develop an Arsenic water filter for domestic use which filters water for a household without using Power supply. The main challenge in this project was to make a product which will remove arsenic contamination from water and will actually be used by the people living in the affected regions. Form Factor, use of indigenous raw materials, low-cost, durability, easy to use, maintain, cleaning and aesthetic design are the main considering factors for design.The Water filter designed by Vishal Bhushan Jha, brings this technology to the individual users.
