RODRIGUEZ-SANTOS, Josué; ORTIZ-AYOVI, Doménica; RODRIGUEZ-BAQUERIZO, Esther e SANTOS-BAQUERIZO, Eduardo. A watermaker ecological filter design for rural communities, using Moringa Oleifera. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.2, pp.118-130. ISSN 1794-4449. https://doi.org/10.22507/rli.v15n2a9.
Introduction:
Water in its natural state contains different particles, including soil and microorganisms that prevent it from being suitable for human consumption, water in these conditions causes various waterborne diseases. In Latin American and Caribbean countries, these diseases are among the ten most frequent causes of death.
The design of the ecological filter (slow up).
Objective:
To make water available in rural communities without using chemical substances, used by sanitary engineering in a traditional manner for purification.
Methodology:
The application of this research project will be executed in the community of Pichiyacu de los Cayapas, located in Ecuador, province of Esmeraldas, canton Eloy Alfaro.
Result:
Scientific research has shown that the seed of the Moringa oleifera, is a friendly alternative to the environment and human being, because it has efficiencies over 90% in the elimination of turbidity, and up to 100% in the removal of coliforms Fecal.
Conclusions:
This project considers the water quality parameters at the confluence of the Santiago and Ónzole rivers, in the province of Esmeraldas, Eloy Alfaro canton, San José parish, Los Cayapas Pichiyacu community, which has an estimated population of 300 families.
