Standalone Solutions for Clean and Sustainable Water Access in Africa Through Smart UV/LED Disinfection, Solar Energy Utilization, and Wireless Positioning Support

Abstract

Este documento proporciona una encuesta multidisciplinaria única de soluciones independientes para el acceso al agua limpia y sostenible en África y propone una arquitectura de tres segmentos, compuesta por una unidad de desinfección de agua basada en UV-LED, una batería de energía solar y un sistema de posicionamiento inalámbrico. Además, nuestro documento también proporciona resultados instantáneos iniciales de los tres segmentos de la arquitectura propuesta, así como dos ejemplos del análisis del agua y los resultados basados en la encuesta del usuario recopilados en Togo, África. Creemos que las características de nuestro sistema previsto, como la larga duración de la batería, el bajo costo de mantenimiento, la capacidad de aumentar significativamente la calidad y desinfectar al menos 1,5 l/min de agua y la capacidad de ofrecer posicionamiento inalámbrico sin la necesidad de acceder a una red celular o WiFi, para anotar con precisión las fuentes de agua, la localización de sistemas de desinfección extraviados o perdidos y las capacidades de posicionamiento independiente del usuario, son características atractivas para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con acceso limitado al agua potable o al agua que cumple con los criterios internacionales de calidad.

Cet article fournit une enquête multidisciplinaire unique sur les solutions autonomes pour un accès à l'eau propre et durable en Afrique et propose une architecture à trois segments, composée d'une unité de désinfection de l'eau à base d'UV-LED, d'une batterie solaire et d'un système de positionnement sans fil. En outre, notre article fournit également des résultats instantanés initiaux des trois segments de l'architecture proposée, ainsi que deux exemples d'analyse de l'eau et de résultats d'enquête basés sur les utilisateurs collectés au Togo, en Afrique. Nous pensons que les caractéristiques de notre système envisagé, telles que la longue durée de vie de la batterie, le faible coût de maintenance, la capacité d'augmenter considérablement la qualité et de désinfecter au moins 1,5 l/min d'eau et la capacité d'offrir un positionnement sans fil sans avoir besoin d'accéder à un réseau cellulaire ou WiFi, pour une annotation précise des sources d'eau, la localisation des systèmes de désinfection égarés ou perdus et les capacités de positionnement autonomes des utilisateurs, sont des caractéristiques attrayantes pour améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes ayant un accès limité à l'eau potable ou à l'eau qui répond aux critères de qualité internationaux.

This paper provides a unique multi-disciplinary survey of standalone solutions for clean and sustainable water access in Africa and proposes a three-segment architecture, comprised of an UV-LEDbased water disinfection unit, a solar-powered battery, and a wireless positioning system.In addition, our paper also provides initial snapshot results from all the three segments of the proposed architecture, as well as two examples of the water analysis and user-survey-based results collected from Togo, Africa.We believe that the features of our envisaged system such as long battery life, low maintenance cost, ability to significantly increase the quality and disinfect at least 1.5 l/min of water and ability to offer wireless positioning without the need to access a cellular or WiFi network, for accurate annotation of water sources, localization of misplaced or lost disinfection systems, and user standalone positioning capabilities, are attractive features towards improving the quality of life of people with limited access to potable water or to water that fulfills international quality criteria.

تقدم هذه الورقة مسحًا فريدًا متعدد التخصصات للحلول المستقلة للوصول إلى المياه النظيفة والمستدامة في أفريقيا وتقترح بنية من ثلاثة أجزاء، تتألف من وحدة تطهير المياه القائمة على الأشعة فوق البنفسجية، وبطارية تعمل بالطاقة الشمسية، ونظام تحديد المواقع اللاسلكي. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، توفر ورقتنا أيضًا نتائج اللقطات الأولية من جميع الأجزاء الثلاثة للهندسة المعمارية المقترحة، بالإضافة إلى مثالين على تحليل المياه والنتائج المستندة إلى مسح المستخدم التي تم جمعها من توغو، أفريقيا. نعتقد أن ميزات نظامنا المتصور مثل عمر البطارية الطويل، وتكلفة الصيانة المنخفضة، والقدرة على زيادة جودة وتطهير ما لا يقل عن 1.5 لتر/دقيقة من المياه والقدرة على توفير تحديد المواقع اللاسلكية دون الحاجة إلى الوصول إلى شبكة خلوية أو شبكة واي فاي، للحصول على شرح دقيق لمصادر المياه، وتوطين أنظمة التطهير في غير محلها أو المفقودة، وقدرات تحديد المواقع القائمة بذاتها للمستخدم، هي ميزات جذابة نحو تحسين نوعية حياة الأشخاص الذين يعانون من محدودية الوصول إلى المياه الصالحة للشرب أو المياه التي تفي بالمعايير الدولية للجودة.
