Proposal
In Vietnam, the water pollution crisis is starkly illustrated by distressing statistics: annually, about 9,000 deaths and over 250,000 hospitalizations are attributed to poor water quality (World Bank, 2023). This situation is exacerbated in areas like the Red River and Mekong River Deltas, where water contamination, including arsenic, poses a significant health risk.
H2Ostat, a compact and cost-effective device, addresses this challenge by providing an essential early warning system. By detecting heavy metals in real time, H2Ostat alerts users to potential dangers in their water supply, offering peace of mind about the safety of the water they and their families consume. It enables communities to make safer choices and advocate for improved water services. Thus, H2Ostat is a vital tool in the global effort to improve water safety and public health.
This capability of H2Ostat aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 6, particularly target 6.1, which aims for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030.
