  Clean Water And Sanitation

After Typhoon Yagi, the local water supply was severely polluted, posing significant health risks to the community. Mtech, a pioneering provider of emergency water treatment solutions in Vietnam for disaster and flood situations, recognized the severity of the situation and deployed the LW-300D water treatment and desalination machine. This initiative provided clean water to areas heavily affected by the disaster.

The project supported Núi Mằn Primary and Secondary School in Hoành Bồ District, Quảng Ninh Province, as well as the surrounding community, ensuring access to safe water. This effort helped prevent waterborne diseases and improved public health during the emergency.

Part 1

Starting background of the project

In mid-September, Typhoon Yagi caused severe flooding in northern Vietnam, particularly in rural areas. The floods not only damaged property but also heavily contaminated water supplies, posing significant health risks to residents. This situation left millions at risk of contracting waterborne and other infectious diseases.

In this urgent context, providing access to clean water became a top priority. To address the crisis, Mtech promptly deployed water treatment equipment at Núi Mằn Primary and Secondary School in Hoành Bồ District, Quảng Ninh Province. This equipment not only improved the quality of drinking water for students and teachers but also contributed to safeguarding public health.

Project innovation/ invention

Mtech deployed the LW-300D, an advanced device that uses desalination and filtration technology to address the clean water shortage in areas affected by Typhoon Yagi. With its effective operation, this system can quickly convert contaminated water into clean water, meeting the urgent need for drinking water for residents during this difficult time.

With its outstanding features, the LW-300D provides an effective and sustainable clean water solution:

- Ability to process various water sources: The LW-300D uses Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology to clean water from the sea, rivers, lakes, or wells, removing bacteria, viruses, and harmful substances. Additionally, the processed water is disinfected by an automatic sterilization system, ensuring the water is completely safe for daily use.

- High efficiency: The machine can process up to 9,840 liters of seawater daily and 12,120 liters from other water sources, providing enough clean water for large communities in disaster-affected areas.

- Flexible and portable design: With a corrosion-resistant stainless steel frame, compact size, and easy-to-move wheels, the LW-300D can be installed and operated in various terrains, including hard-to-reach areas.

- Safety and convenience: The system automatically shuts off if the water source stops or if the filter is clogged.

Goals and vision of the project

Goals

Mtech's project aims not only to provide clean water in the short term but also to build a sustainable system to support communities in Vietnam, especially in disaster situations. The main goal of the project is to ensure that all people, especially those in vulnerable areas, have the right to access clean and safe water, regardless of the difficulties they face.

Vision

Mtech's long-term vision is to become the leading provider of emergency clean water solutions in the Asia-Pacific region, creating a strong support network for delivering clean water and ensuring that people have access to safe water during emergencies.

Implementation - Scope - Cost of the project 

Implementation - Scope

Mtech's project was implemented in areas heavily affected by Typhoon Yagi in northern Vietnam, specifically at Núi Mằn Primary and Secondary School (Hoành Bồ, Quảng Ninh). The main activities included field surveys, installation of the LW-300D water filtration machines, and operational monitoring to ensure the water meets safety standards.

Cost

The project costs include transportation of the equipment, installation of the water filtration machines at the deployment sites, and expenses incurred during the maintenance and operation of the equipment to meet the urgent clean water needs of residents after the disaster.

Achievements 

The project has provided clean water to hundreds of residents, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases, ensuring health, and improving the quality of life for the community in the flood-affected areas.

Part 6

Model expansion potential

Mtech's emergency water treatment model can be applied in other countries in the region facing similar situations. Mtech's mobile water treatment devices are adaptable to various types of contaminated water sources, making the model easy to scale and implement by organizations and governments in disaster situations.
