Why This Project?

• Because there is need for an emergency low-cost water-sterilizer in many countries. Current water sterilizers are too expensive. Also, with widescale deployment of the XO's, there will be a wide range of communities able to have these sterilizers on hand for emergencies. These sterilizers are meant to be a short-term solution for many areas. These areas can later use other methods of sterilization that take more time once their potable water supply is stabilized.

• Because this project has educational uses, including for biological sciences, health sciences, and more. With the right programs, this device could have several academic applications including taking water temperature, obtaining water clarity, and possibly even measuring acidity/alkilinity.
