Hello World! I am here to tell you about my idea for an easy, clean way to solve the problem of clean water. I am doing this project for a school project about 20 time. 20 time is a system first developed by Google in which employees are given 20% of their time, about one day, to work on their own pet projects. 20 time has resulted in inventions such as gmail and google maps. During winter break, I traveled to India with my family. In India, you cannot drink tap water because the sanitation is not as good as in the United States.. People are forced to buy large amounts of plastic water bottles to consume. Even worse, many poorer people do not have access to any water and get it from lakes and rivers. This problem is not unique to India. According to a UN study done in 2013, 768 million people do not have access to clean water.
By the end of 20 time in May, I hope to have designed and created a simple water treatment device. I am hoping that by mid March, I will have finalized my design for my water treatment device. By the middle of April, I hope to have finished my water treatment device. The rest of my time will be spent testing my device. To test my device, I will mix common contaminants such as dirt and debris and put the mixture through my device. I will see what went wrong and what was good and hopefully improve my device. That is all for now.

I love your idea, and think it could be very helpful to many people. You should do some research into the existing solution. I also want to know how you will make your product different than the tons of filters that are already out there.

Kiran, this is a great idea that could be very helpful to many people and improve the lives of many. I agree with Ankurs statement that you should look into existing solutions and try to improve upon those while also finding your own solution.
