Nashville,TN (PRWEB).– Dr. David Vanderpool, CEO of Mobile Medical Disaster Relief, recently returned from Haiti after assessing lingering impacts from Hurricane Isaac, a storm responsible for at least 29 fatalities throughout Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Dr. Vanderpool stated, “in addition to the loss of
life, property damage and impact to vital food sources, the excessive
rain and resulting flooding heightens the risk of a cholera outbreak.
Because this disease is transmitted via contaminated water sources, a
secure water supply is vital to the health and well being of the community.”
Mobile Medical Disaster Relief has been mobilized in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake treating over 25,000 patients. Due to the high prevalence of intestinal infections observed in the medical clinics, MMDR has undertaken a clean water initiative to address this major cause of health problems in the general population. To understand the quality of the common water sources, testing revealed that E. coli and salmonella were prevalent in nine of ten water collection sites.
In July, the first water filtration system was installed to treat a shallow contaminated well near Thomazeau. Subsequent systems will be installed over the course of the next year targeting clean water access to all 180,000 residents of the region. “The beauty of the system is its ease of maintenance and cost effectiveness providing water for fractions of a penny per user,” according to Dr. Vanderpool.

Moringa Water Purification
Crushed Moringa seeds clarify and purify water to suit domestic use and lower the bacterial concentration in the water making it safe for drinking.
Moringa seed powder can be used as a quick and simple method for cleaning dirty river water. Studies showed that this simple method of filtering not only diminishes water pollution, but also harmful bacteria. The moringa powder joins with the solids in the water and sinks to the bottom. This treatment also removes 90-99% of bacteria contained in water.
Please see our add in the DT classifieds for more information.
why
Or even hand out enough seed/seedlings of Moringa to get it to a viable amount to be used?
Free only means someone else is paying for it...
The problem is the water ways and water sources that get contaminated, fixing that will take a long time with both education and reforestation, so in the short term this is a good start.
Would like to know more about what system they are using?
Yes, I think so, how about what do you think?
Let me tell you one thing, I do not want to be in the same first place category Haiti is best known to be in the lead.
Therefore my advice is that when you spit up in the air, ya'better close your lips tight and duck, before the saliva either falls right back in the mouth or hits and splashes your face.
You are begining to sound just a bit more balanced for a change.
However, if you want to continue this discourse, I would recommend
you listen to advice and keep it civil. I know it is hard for you. It was not too long ago when you
left the jungle and don't know how to behave in civil society.
Nevertheless, keep your insults to yourself, otherwise I will stop responding to your posts.
I will only warn you once. So please cease with mud slinging. There are a lot cleaner
ways to make insults without sounding like a wild animal just out of the bush.

@Trini 809 don't even give him the time of day.
The man is pure ghetto, has no class and it is exactly what he wants you do do, go down at his level and pick a nasty, rude and crude fight. Just don't give him he pleasure.
He does not know how to communicate any other way.
