About Project Pyour Wartar




So if you are reading the name of our organization, you will probably figure out that it sounds a lot like "pure water" - and if you came to this conclusion after looking it over a couple of times, then you are correct in the pronounciation. Project Pyour Wartar is a new non-for-profit business venture that is getting ready to hit the ground running hard. We are based in Australia - more specifically the University of Queensland in Brisbane. So what are we about?


The MISSION of Project Pyour Wartar is to provide pure, clean water to a remote community which does not have attainable access to pure water. This will be done utilizing a small-scale, cheap solar powered desalination unit designed for household level. The larger goal and vision will be to provide a method and simple way for communities and villages on a global scale to have access to pure clean water.


This mission statement involves two direct actions in achieving the goal. First and foremost - providing a service to a community in need. The second - designing and developing a simple and cheap desalination unit that will purify brackish water. We have identified a community in need and have begun establishing contact and a relationship with that community. Our first project - DAJARRA (more about that in the next post) - will serve as our first and trial run of our project. In short, Dajarra is a small indigenous community in northwest Queensland, Australia. The groundwater contains too much salt and other minerals - basically it is undrinkable. The only source of drinking water is rainwater. We plan on being able to provide another source of drinking water for Dajarra.
