Abstract

In places where flood disasters occur often, a shortage of clean water is a concern. Some of the existing methods of supplying clean water may not be particularly successful as a result of the crisis, as well as location, infrastructure, and other constraints. For flood disaster victims, developing mobile clean water supply units may be an alternative option. The system is intended for raw water sources in flood-prone regions that need 7500 liters per day or 25 people. The design of this water purification system was based on current technology and research. Even if conventional procedures are used, it is critical to design a system that is mobile, easy to assemble and disassemble, and robust enough to transport the unit to disaster areas where it is needed. This design uses a turbo water pump to boost pressure, thus increasing the flowrate of the filter, but the filter was selected at random using a morphological chart based on market availability, assuming the area lacks power and clean water. The filter was being researched by another student, so the investigation is still continuing. After he confirms the filter selection, this design will utilize the chosen filter for this system, which is suitable for sanitation, cooking, and drinking despite utilizing polluted water as an input source. The connection between joints is the focus of this design, which can be easily assembled and disassembled due to the use of robust materials.
