Student-made device could bring clean water to the world

Right now there is a massive worldwide shortage of clean drinking water. People in countries like Bangladesh, Azerbaijan, Madagascar, and Haiti only have access to the dirtiest water in the world. But students from the University of Washington may have come up with a solution, and all it will cost is $3.40 each.

The students, Chin Jung Cheng, Charlie Matlack, Penny Huang, and Jacqueline Linnes, took on a challenge put forth by the Bolivia-based nonprofit group, Fundación SODIS to develop a method of providing clean drinking water to those who currently lack it. — via redwolf.newsvine.com
