Water Without Worry – Developing a Compact Filter made from Natural Materials for Microbial Water Treatment

The project focuses on developing a cost‑effective, efficient, pocket-sized filtration system that removes microbiological contaminants from surface water, making it safe for human consumption. The use of Chitosan – a naturally derived and biodegradable biopolymer – not only enables effective filtration but also supports an eco‑friendly design, allowing clean drinking water to be produced without compromising ecological responsibility.
