This week we will be working on the demonstration to take to villages to show them how the water treatment stations work and the different stages that they use. We had a meeting on Friday to present our ideas to the Teuk Saat staff and it was really exciting, if a little daunting! Everything worked out well though and they really seemed to approve of our ideas, even though some of them suggested we make the demonstration (which they now want to be much bigger with 50-20L containers used) actually be able to treat water. We discussed it though and reckoned it would be the same if we could just let them taste water from another station so that they knew they would like the taste before buying – phew!
We’ll be carrying on with the demonstration sand filter today, washing the sand and experimenting with quantities.
Oh and yesterday Sinead and I went to Phnom Sampoev which involved being completely soaked in the rain, a 3 hour cycle ride, being lead up and down a mountain by 4 monks and watching a trail of millions of bats leaving the caves at dusk. All in all, a really good day.
