Inventions Which Can Turn Sewage Water Into Fresh Drinking Water
Drinking water is rare for millions of people around the globe and many suffer to get safe drinking water, you are lucky enough if you get clean drinking water.
Not only it should be clean, it must also be safe which is why inventions which can turn sewage water into fresh drinking water are extremely crucial as they can help the global population to meet sustainable development goals.
Let’s first understand the difference between sewage and drinking water and then we will understand how the 6 inventions can save the world, especially people who want safe water and 1 invention that’s beneficial for traveler.
What Is Sewage Water?
Sewage is also known as gutter and sewage water is usually very dirty water.
Sewage water is the water which is highly contaminated (very dirty and full of bacteria) and we cannot use it for our personal needs like we cannot use it to : –
- wash our clothes
- Wash our utensils and
- We cannot drink it.
It’s not safe to drink sewage water since it contains so many harmful waste substances and particles which may harm our body and we may suffer from various kind of diseases.
For example: –
- Human waste ( poop )
- Urine and
- Also it contains high amount of bacteria etc.
What Is Drinking Water?
Drinking water is the water which is free from any kind of dust or particles and it is also free from bacteria.
This is the water which you drink and it is very safe as compared to sewage water.
Example : – Where do we get fresh water?
People generally use the following to get the fresh and clean drinking water : –
- Aqua-Pure ( Filter )
- RO + UV water ( again a filter )
- Matkas or pots made of mud ( Also known as Kullad in India ).
Kullad is a very environment friendly product and so I recommend you all to use it. Suppose after filtering water from RO you can store water in Kullad as the water will stay cold for a longer period of time and it’s better than cold water from Fridge.
DO YOU KNOW? More than half of the people on Earth are not getting safe drinking water.
We humans are making all the water bodies (say ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans) very dirty and contaminated because of our greed and comfort.
We do not think about those people who depend on these water bodies for their survival and this affects the entire globe.
Some countries like in Norway and in few European countries people get safe drinking water from the waterfalls and taps only and this is so good.
Even near Himalayan region people get safe and clean drinking water from the mountains itself.
It is our responsibility the make the world clean and clear for everyone and everyone should get safe drinking water and clean air to breathe and food to eat.
Reasons We Are Dealing With So Much Of Dirty Water On Earth
Well the main reason we are dealing with so much of dirty water are : –
- We are using so much of plastics, and other waste materials
- Global Warming
- Improper usage of water (especially using rivers for bathing, washing clothes and so on)
- Discharge of waste from industries directly into the water bodies like rivers
- Leakage of oil from the ships
- We humans throw anything into the lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans
- Climate Change
You can know more about Climate Change on my website.
Now let’s get straight into the Inventions which can turn sewage water into fresh drinking water.
6 Inventions Which Can Turn Sewage Water Into Fresh Drinking Water
Such inventions change and shape the course of the planet and these inventions have turned the tables for common people around he world.
1. Life-Straws
For an individual use, Life-Straws are one of the best ways to treat sewage water and turn it into drinking water.
Life-Straws is basically a straw which can turn sewage water (dirty water) into fresh and clean drinking water by acting against bacteria, protozoa etc. or you can say by blocking these bacteria, protozoa and many other particles.
These straws are specially designed to be used in those areas where clean and safe drinking water is not easily available. Lifestraws can be used everywhere around the world but specially these can be used more by the people (especially women and childrens) who : –
- Live near Landfill areas.
- Those who live in slum areas.
- Those who live near running sewage water pipeline areas.
- The people who live in forests.
- People who live near Industries and then they suffer from various kinds of diseases.
Such a Shame
People who live near Industries and then they suffer from various kinds of diseases like : –
- Diarrhoea
- Aasthma
- Tuberculosis
- Cancer and
- Many more bacterial problems.
This is because the waste from the industries goes directly into the water bodies which these people use since they have no other choice.
These industries do not care for their workers and they care for : –
- Their business and
- Money
If not so then why these poor people have to suffer every time and why do we hear such news every time that they lack proper shelter, food and drinking water. There is no sanitation.
I only want to say that these people should be provided with everything that they deserve and what we have.
I am not against these industries I repeat and sorry if anyone of you gets offended.
Do you know that due to lack of fresh and safe drinking water every year more than 1.5 million people die and the reason is human activities and we always try to dominate the future.
I have an Appeal to all the people who are in the field of environment and the government from all over the world that please start to act more on Environment instead of Development.
We have enough buildings but we are lacking trees and the Natural Habitat.
Within the last 50 years we have lost 60 % of our biodiversity (wildlife). It is the responsibility of each and everyone on this planet to take care of their Environment.
Government should ban manufacturing plastics in all over the world and instead we should reuse the plastics we have everywhere around the Earth like say in oceans. It is believed that by 2050, we will have more plastics in oceans than the fishes.
Please please its my request that avoid using plastics as much as you can and instead of plastics use reusable bags and other environment friendly products.
Abilities of The Life-Straw
- This can be used to convert sewage water into fresh and clean drinking water.
- It performs by blocking the bacteria from the sewage water (contaminated water) and turns into clean and fresh drinking water.
- It is an instant microbiological water filter i.e it fights against microorganisms like bacteria.
- It’s an award winning technology.
- Lifestraw play is the first water bottle and it has a filter specially designed for small childrens.
- Yes it is good to take lifestraws while you go for hiking, travelling and camping etc.
- Lifestraw purifies water by using an advanced ultrafiltration membrane.
Shocking right? But this really a great invention and in the future if we still continue to degrade the quality of the water then we have to use life-straws for a longer period of time.
Next invention is really very important and interesting so stay tuned !
2. ECO CLEAN – A Magical Solution
This is really a very important and a magical invention.
Eco Clean is basically a very powerful solution which can turn high amount of dirty water (contaminated) into clean and fresh drinking water by using only few droplets of Eco Clean solution.
This solution is way to powerful to clean all the dirt from the dirty water.
For example : – To treat the dirty water into fresh and clean drinking water we have to take : –
- 0.4 ml drops of Eco Clean to treat 10 Lt of sewage water.
- 40 ml of Eco-Clean to treat 1000 Lt of sewage water.
But How This Works?
Suppose you have collected 10 Lt of waste water. Now just add 0.4 mil of Eco- Clean solution to it and after few seconds Flocculation method starts and in the end the water gets clean and then you can drink it.
Flocculation means settling of particles (both suspended solids and dissolved solids) in the bottom.
Suppose you added the Eco-Clean solution in a beaker then the waste particles will settle down at the bottom of the beaker.
It is a single dose herbal reagent with so smell and no bacteria.
What Are The Ingredients Of Eco Clean-2300?
- Neem
- Drumstick
- Cleaning Nut
- Tea Tree Oil and
- Tulsi all blended together using organic solvents and stabilizers.
This solution is non-toxic and safe and it improves : –
- It improves the following:
- TDS ( Total Dissolved Solids )
- TSS ( Total Suspended Solids )
- BOD ( Biochemical oxygen Demand )
- COD of the water ( Chemical Oxygen Demand )

3. Toilet To Tap
This is such a great invention if you see. It is basically a water recycling process i.e using water again and again.
Mike Mark is the general manager.
California plant (CA plant) is turning sewage water into fresh and clean drinking water.
For the treatment, the water goes into a 3 step purification process.
The 3 Step Process
STEP 1 : – First, micro-filters are used to remove small particles and bacteria from the dirty water.
STEP 2 : – By the process of reverse osmosis, the water becomes clean enough just like what we get in a packaged plastic water bottle. This step dissolves and removes every particle that was left on STEP 1.
STEP 3 : – Finally, anything which is still left gets removed and water gets clean.
In this step, by the help of ” Highpower UV lights ” in the tanks, the water becomes clean enough to drink.
All these 3 steps makes the water clean enough to be used for drinking purpose.
Such a great idea ! Purifying the toilet water into clean and clear drinking water.

LifeSaver works like a charm. It is basically a kind of water bottle where you store water and you pump out the dirty water you have collected and finally what you get is fresh and clean drinking water.
Now you may think that how can this bottle knock off all the bacteria, fungi who are very small in size ? How can we wipe them out of the dirty water ?
Say,
- Tuberculosis Bacteria of 200 nm and
- Polio Virus of 25 nm
The answer is LifeSaver bottle’s pores are of 15 nm so no bacteria or any kind of particle can pass through it.
What LifeSaver does is that it filtrates out the waste water and converts it into fresh and clean drinking water.

Therefore now you have an idea on the Inventions which can turn sewage water into fresh drinking water
My Idea To Promote Afforestation
I have a great idea but for that each one of you have to contribute for this project and in today’s scenario we need to implement this idea as soon as possible to restore the ecological balance of the Mother Earth.
So Plant at least once a week. So in that way you can plant 4 plants/trees every month and nearly 50-52 plants/trees a year.
Now suppose in each and every state/country, even if 1 Lakh people follow this therefore in that way we can have nearly 50 Lakh trees in every city all around the world.
So in big cities like Delhi (with a population of 2 crores) suppose 5 lakh people follow this then we can have 2-3 crore trees every year and planting once a week hardly takes 10 minutes so why not to contribute for nature.
Therefore it is my request to you all to plant atleast once a week and anywhere you like and please avoid plastics please. Instead of plastics use Paper bags and Reusable bags.
Please Plant
So now think over that if we have so many trees with lots of fruits hanging over the roads then the poor people will not starve anymore.
This is because they will be gifted with so many trees and with so many fruits hanging out there and this is our responsibility to plant more and more trees.
Comment down who will help me in this major project and yes do this for yourself and therefore in the end you will be happy when you will see your trees to be grown up and we all will get clean air.
