Description
AquaNova is a low-cost, solar-powered water purification system designed for underserved communities lacking access to clean drinking water. It combines bio-sand filtration with solar UV-C LED purification to remove particles, bacteria, viruses, and pathogens without using chemicals or electricity. Water first passes through layers of sand and gravel, where a natural biolayer enhances purification. Then, it flows into a UV-C LED chamber powered by a small solar panel, which neutralizes harmful microorganisms at the molecular level. Clean water is dispensed through a gravity-fed spout for easy access.
The system is modular and scalable, built from locally sourced or recycled materials like plastic tanks, sand, and solar components. Each unit costs around $35 to $50 to assemble and is designed to serve 50 to 100 people per day. AquaNova includes a battery backup to allow purification during cloudy days or at night. Optional smart sensors monitor water quality and send maintenance alerts through a simple mobile app. The design emphasizes durability, ease of maintenance, and community-led assembly and operation.
Expertise
My first strength is marketing. I know how to position a message so that it grabs attention and connects with the right audience. Whether it’s a product, a mission, or an event, I focus on how to make it stand out and feel relevant.
I’m also skilled in public relations. I understand how to build relationships with people, organizations, and communities. I can shape how others see a brand or cause and use those connections to spread awareness and build trust.
Another key strength is writing. I can take big ideas and communicate them clearly and persuasively. Whether it’s a pitch, a story, or a campaign, I know how to use words to move people.
Lastly, I have a creative mindset. I like thinking in new ways, finding fresh angles, and solving problems with ideas that others might not see. This creativity helps me come up with unique solutions and messages that feel different and make a lasting impact.
Because of these strengths, I can support other organizations by helping them grow, connect, and inspire—whether through campaigns, branding, or community outreach.
