The global water crisis has many causes, requiring many different solutions. Drinkable Book is one of the solutions.

It’s the first ever manual that provides safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education — all in one!

A group of researchers from the US, in collaboration with a non-profit organization, has designed a book with silver-impregnated pages that can be used to filter contaminated water. One page from this ‘drinkable book’ can potentially filter up to 100 liters of drinking water and may provide a cheap, sustainable solution for communities suffering from severe sanitation problems.

Each page of the book provides basic water and sanitation advice, such as the importance of keeping contaminants like rubbish and feces away from water, often unknown in developing countries.
