SDG #6 - Ale, Biel, Ricardo by Alejandro Duarte Whitehair DeZerne https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj Global Research Padlet en-us 2022-04-21 13:30:41 UTC 2025-10-17 16:03:17 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4a7.png What are the current best methods for water filtration and how do they work? bcodina1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2152365571
Some of the most known methods of water purification are boiling, desalination, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Boiling works exactly like it sounds, and is a method that is used to make water slightly safer to drink. Essentially getting the water as hot as possible while keeping most of it liquid may kill bacteria in the water, however most impurities and chemical pollution will remain in the water. Desalination is the full evaporation and condensation of salt water. Collecting the steam of ocean water does make for safe to drink distilled water, or at least a water with a lower lethal dose than ocean water. Distillation is similar to desalination but it separates water from anything, not salt exclusively. The only downside to these methods that yield 100% pure water is that humans should drink mineral water, not distilled. Mineral water is slightly hypertonic and therefore safe to drink in large amounts, however repeated consumption of hypotonic pure water causes cells to swell, disturbs electrolyte levels and can cause brain damage. Finally, reverse osmosis requires a lab to chemically make water from scratch and is not viable as a solution to quench world thirst.]]> 2022-04-21 16:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2152365571 How is our SDG measured globally? bcodina1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2152382765 Percentages are a very important form of statistic that is used to measure our SDG, as the objective is universal or 100% access to clean water sources. Statistics like percentage of people who have access to sanitation systems or potable water are important in quantifying the progress we make toward this goal. Also, figures such as number of hospitals with water and soap sanitation and number of pollution related deaths are important. Our SDG can be measured by region, because some areas of the world such as Europe and parts of Asia don’t have issues with universal access to water. The website called SDG6data.org is a great display of the progress we have made thus far.]]> 2022-04-21 17:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2152382765 Who is most affected by our SDG? bcodina1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2152383093 Lack of access to potable water and sanitation is an issue for a small portion of many countries populations, however the problem is exaggerated in Africa with 9 of the top 10 countries with least access to  clean water. The countries most affected in order are: Ethiopia, New Guinea, Chad, Uganda, DRC, Mozambique, Tanzania, Somalia, Pakistan, and Nigeria]]> 2022-04-21 17:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2152383093 Target 6.a bcodina1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2156188278 https://www.sdg6monitoring.org/indicators/target-6a/]]> 2022-04-25 08:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2156188278 What countries suffer the most from scarce or polluted water sources. alwhitehair1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2161827478 Again, our SDG needs the most progress in Africa, because many of these communities have no way to purify their water and also pollute it themselves. However more common than death by thirst is death by disease due to not having a continuous source of water to sanitise. The environments without sanitation allow diseases to thrive and take many lives, especially children and elders. In Chad, there is a 1 in 10 chance that a certain death was caused by polluted drinking water]]> 2022-04-28 08:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2161827478 What do we consider to be potable water? alwhitehair1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2161828747 Potable water refers to water that is adequate for human consumption in the long term. Any water that causes health issues or is polluted is non-potable. There are four recognised levels of water purity within potable water. Feed water is what a large part of the developing world relies on, water that is barely clean enough to be consumed with no lasting detriments, but may often be contaminated with visible impurities or not be fully colourless. Carbon filtration and reverse osmosis make up primary grade water, and the other two types are ultra pure waters that are non plausible as a widespread solution. The world has to focus on universal access of barely potable water for everyone before we concern ourselves with mineral concentrations or purity levels]]> 2022-04-28 08:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2161828747 Local Solutions alwhitehair1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2162589907 2022-04-28 13:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2162589907 Wells for Africa bcodina1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2165233200 Wells for afria is a Org that is creating Well for the countries that need them the most, people that no have access to water or that need to waljk kilometers to reach water that could be infected with deseases.]]> 2022-04-30 12:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2165233200 Bita drinking water mega project alwhitehair1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2167917496 A prject sustained bu the World bank and the french development Agency signed a agreement giving 500m that will benifit the 7.5 million people with clean water and acces to it.

THe worlds progress in this specific goal is not sufficent. More change needs to happen to make water reach parts that aren't develeped.

The process reduces the risk of consuming harmful things for the human body. the water then can be used directly in households or industrial applications.

Unicef states "Two Billion people still do not have basic sanitation services. while 673 million people practice'Open Defection'."

Most of the times tap water is filtered in a facility before it reaches the user. but the problem with this s that they never test the water wen it goes though the municipal feed lines which most of the times pollute the water even more. The water while it is being distributed it can encounter microorganisms bacteria and viruses that is why it is important to filter your water before drinking. Studies also say that the contaminants of the water can accumulate in the body which in theory could lead humans to suffer form a weaker immune system, cancer, and thyroid hormone disruption.]]> 2022-05-06 13:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2172919427 What are the targets of out SDG? bcodina1_1 https://padlet.com/alwhitehair1_1/qj8b6dp0p3bp5lqj/wish/2172922328 Our SDG has a total of 7 Tagets
