During the World Water Forum last month in Korea, Gloria Lin presented on the topic of “the application of Multi-hazard mitigation and prevention technology in Chinese Taipei”, with the most interesting technical product being Q-Water, a product designed originally to aid people in remote areas such as mountain villages or small islands to get safe drinking water. She explained this system can also be applied in developing countries. It can provide several thousands of people water for at least a week, so should be suitable for Nepal mountain villages. I would suggest contacting Yang Wei-fuu (楊偉甫), vice economics minister and director-general of the Water Resources Agency, organizer of said panel and also from Chinese Taipei, to ask about implementing the Q-water system in Nepal.
