The Ukraine-Russia war is one of the most extreme events that have happened in recent years. The world was still grappling with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its variants when Russia invaded Ukraine. This war has meant destruction for both countries and has made people think about where the world is headed.
Armed conflicts don’t just impact millions of lives. They also impact water systems in various ways. Read on to know more about the impact. You should also know that mobile and solar water treatment systems can help in extreme situations like global wars.
The Data
According to a World Bank report of 2011, populations in developing countries that are affected by conflict are disproportionately affected by a lack of access to safe water as well as improved sanitation. It also highlighted that children born in conflict-affected countries are nearly twice as likely to lack access to an improved source of water than children born in peaceful developing countries
A United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report in 2019 stated that children in prolonged conflicts are more likely to die from diseases linked to the lack of clean water as compared to violence directly related to the conflict itself.
Can Mobile and Solar Water Treatment Systems Help?
Emergency mobile solar water desalination systems can provide critical support to war-hit nations. AMPAC USA manufactures Advanced Mobile Water Treatment, Water Purification, and Seawater Desalination systems that can be relocated on their own mobile platforms, such as enclosed truck trailers for vehicular towing, even to remote locations with no access to the electrical grid through optional solar- or fuel-driven power generators.
Mobile and solar water treatment plants are the much-required resources during emergencies like wars. In the war-struck areas, one of the biggest problems is water supply. Providing safe and drinkable water to war-affected victims becomes a big concern for the rescue teams. Such teams can depend on portable water purification systems, solar power water systems, mobile water treatment systems, and mobile water provisioning systems.
Mobile and Solar Water Treatment equipment are the most convenient solution to war-related water problems. These equipment are designed to meet emergencies effectively. A fixed energy source or a huge power supply is not required to operate this equipment.
These can be operated anywhere, and usually, a mobile van fitted in with the water treatment plant is used for this purpose. These mobile water purifiers work on solar energy or fuel-driven power generators. These mobile and solar water treatment plants are equally efficient in producing safe and pure drinkable water as any power-operated water purifier does.
AMPAC USA Mobile Water Treatment Systems are recognized globally by some of the most discerning end-users for their rugged durability, reliability, and mobility. A parallel military product line called ROWPU (reverse osmosis water purification unit) is approved by NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization military alliance between the United States and several European partner countries.
