With access to drinking water limited amid coronavirus lockdown, LifeStraw offers solutions

Chennai: Several communities across the world whose women have had to walk several kilometres everyday to fetch water for daily use would now be struggling for drinking water as their movement is restricted by the coronavirus lockdown. Offering a solution is Lifestraw, which turns dirty water drinkable.

LifeStraw technology gets rid of parasites, bacteria and metals such as lead and chromium to make contaminated water drinkable.

Most importantly, some LifeStraw solutions get rid of viruses. Although the coronavirus is not known to be waterborne, it’s reassuring to know that there is a water-purifying solution that kills viruses too.
