SMHO en Water4Life: Samen sterk voor gezonder drinkwater in Roemeni\u00eb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SMHO and Water4Life: Together strong for healthier drinking water in Romania<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SMHO si Water4Life \u00cempreuna pentru apa potabila de calitate \u00een Rom\u00e2nia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SMHO<\/strong> en Water4Life<\/strong> gaan zich sterk maken voor gezonder drinkwater in Roemeni\u00eb, te starten in de provincie Suceava, met de door Water4Life ontwikkelde waterzuiveraars. Dat is het resultaat van een werkbezoek van beide organisaties in juli 2015 aan enkele plekken waar SMHO hulp verleent. Afgevaardigden van SMHO<\/strong> en Water4Life<\/strong> maakten tijdens hun bezoek de eerste afspraken met verschillende Roemeense scholen, lokale overheden en gezondheidsinstellingen. Die hebben vaak te maken met ongezond drinkwater uit putten aan huis of verouderde waterleidingen. Ze geven dat echter niet graag toe. SMHO<\/strong> en Water4Life<\/strong> gaan kijken hoe de door Water4Life<\/strong> ontwikkelde waterzuiveraars voor verbetering kunnen zorgen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMHO<\/strong> and Water4Life<\/strong> join their efforts to provide healthier drinking water in Romania, starting in the county of Suceava with the water filter systems developed by Water4Life. This is the result of the two teams upon the fruitful working visit made in July 2015 to various places where SMHO is long active as an humanitarian organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives of SMHO and Water4Life made during their visit, the first agreements with several Romanian schools, local authorities and health institutions. Very often these institutions have to deal with unhealthy drinking water from wells at home or water pipes which are aged. Some difficulties have been encountered when details were inquired. SMHO en Water4Life are determined to proceed with improving the situation by providing water purifiers developed by Water4Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMHO<\/strong> \u0219i Water4Life<\/strong> au decis s\u0103-\u0219i uneasc\u0103 eforturile pentru a oferi ap\u0103 potabil\u0103 mai s\u0103n\u0103toas\u0103 \u00een Rom\u00e2nia. Proiectul a fost lansat pentru \u00eenceput \u00een jude\u021bul Suceava cu sisteme de filtrare a apei dezvoltate de Water4Life. Acesta este rezultatul colabor\u0103rii dintre cele dou\u0103 echipe \u00een urma vizitei de lucru efectuate \u00een luna iulie 2015 \u00een diferite locuri unde SMHO este de multi ani activa ca organizatie umanitar\u0103. Reprezentan\u021bi ai SMHO \u0219i Water4Life au incheiat \u00een timpul vizitei lor, primele acorduri cu mai multe scoli din Rom\u00e2nia, cu autorit\u0103\u021bile locale \u0219i cu institu\u021bii de s\u0103n\u0103tate. Foarte adesea aceste institu\u021bii se confrunt\u0103 cu probleme generate de calitatea proast\u0103 a apei potabile din f\u00e2nt\u00e2ni aflate in gospod\u0103rii ori cu conductele de ap\u0103 care sunt \u00eenvechite. Au fost \u00eent\u00e2mpinate unele dificult\u0103\u021bi \u00een momentul \u00een care am incercat s\u0103 afl\u0103m mai multe detalii. SMHO \u0219i Water4Life sunt hot\u0103r\u00e2te s\u0103 continue cu \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u021birea situa\u021biei prin furnizarea de purificatoare de ap\u0103 dezvoltate de Water4Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterzuiveraars voor scholen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zo worden bijvoorbeeld waterzuiveraars geplaatst in een basisschool van 600 leerlingen, in eerste instantie bij de toiletten voor meisjes, later bij de jongens. Als dat allemaal goed werkt, wordt gekeken welke Water4Life-filters het beste werken op die plek. In de school wordt een plek ingericht met allerlei modellen waterzuiveraars met verschillende filters. De ouders van leerlingen maar ook andere ge\u00efnteresseerden kunnen die daar bekijken. Studenten uit Boekarest maken van het waterproject een afstudeerproject en helpen de voorlichting rond de waterzuiveraars op te stellen en te verbeteren. Het is de bedoeling om op termijn allerlei maten aan waterzuiveraars voor een schappelijke prijs te koop aan te bieden, thuisfilters maar ook apparatuur voor honderden gebruikers per dag, afgestemd op het waterverbruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water purifiers for schools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For example, water purifiers are placed in a school with 600 children. When this is carried out and functioning one needs to observe what type of filters work best on that spot. There will be a place in the school where the entire series of water purifiers equipped with different filters will be installed. The parents of the students and all interested persons will have the opportunity to have a look at and learn about these systems. A number of students will join the project and use it in their final stage of the practical study. Later, they can help developing a certain awareness around the need of water purifiers and improve the equipment. The intention is to eventually provide water purifiers for sale of all types and sizes at a reasonable price. The types of purifiers will cover a wide range, from home types up to systems of hundreds of users per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purificatoare de apa pentru \u0219coli<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pentru demonstra\u021bie, o serie de purificatoare de ap\u0103 au fost plasate \u00eentr-o scoal\u0103 cu 600 de copii. Odat\u0103 ce aceast\u0103 lucrare va fi finalizat\u0103 \u0219i dat\u0103 \u00een func\u021biune va trebui s\u0103 observ\u0103m care tip de filtre vor func\u021biona cel mai eficient \u00een acel loc. Va fi ales un loc \u00een \u0219coal\u0103 unde va fi instalat\u0103 o \u00eentreag\u0103 serie de purificatoare de ap\u0103 dotate cu diferite tipuri de filtre. At\u00e2t p\u0103rin\u021bii elevilor c\u00e2t \u0219i persoanele interesate vor avea posibilitatea de a testa \u0219i a se informa cu privire la aceste sisteme. Un num\u0103r de studen\u021bi se vor al\u0103tura proiectului \u0219i se vor face utili \u00een faza final\u0103 a studiului lor practic. Mai t\u00e2rziu, ei se vor putea implica direct prin realizarea unor cursuri de informare ce vor avea ca scop informarea persoanele asupra necesit\u0103\u021bii folosirii purificatoare de ap\u0103 si \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103tirea acestor echipamente. Inten\u021bia final\u0103 este de a oferi astfel de purificatoare de ap\u0103 de toate tipurile \u0219i dimensiunile spre v\u00e2nzare la un pre\u021b rezonabil. Tipurile de purificatoare vor acoperi o gam\u0103 larg\u0103, de la tipuri dedicate gospod\u0103riilor proprii p\u00e2n\u0103 la sisteme de sute de utilizatori pe zi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huisartsen steunen waterzuiveraars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Verschillende huisartsen met wie tijdens het bezoek is overlegd, steunen het waterproject. Zij erkennen dat er problemen zijn met het drinkwater. Dat is bijvoorbeeld te zien aan het te hoge nitraatpercentage bij sommige pati\u00ebnten. Bijna altijd wordt de (te) overvloedige bemesting aangehaald als een belangrijke oorzaak voor het slechte drinkwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GPs support water filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Several doctors where approached during the visit and have clearly declared their support for the water project. They admit that very often problems are encountered with drinking water. For instance, a high concentration of nitrate has been observed in some patients. The excessive fertilization of the soil is blamed as the major cause for the contaminated drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicii sprijina proiectul filtrelor de apa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mai mul\u021bi medici au fost aborda\u021bi \u00een timpul vizitei \u0219i \u0219i-au declarat \u00een mod clar sprijinul pentru proiectul de ap\u0103 potabil\u0103. Ei admit c\u0103 de foarte multe ori  sunt \u00eent\u00e2lnite probleme cu apa potabil\u0103. De exemplu, o concentra\u021bie ridicat\u0103 de nitrat a fost observat\u0103 la unii pacien\u021bi. Fertilizarea excesiv\u0103 a solului este indicat\u0103 ca fiind cauza major\u0103 pentru apa potabil\u0103 contaminat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pleidooi voor juiste controle van drinkwater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Veel dorpen in de regio hebben te maken met een combinatie van waterleidingen, rioleringen en losse waterputten. In veel gevallen is er nauwelijks sprake van een correcte, onafhankelijke kwaliteitscontrole van het drinkwater. De controle is meestal slechts visueel. Watermonsters worden amper afgenomen en grondig geanalyseerd. In bijna alle dorpen en gehuchten kopen inwoners flessen mineraalwater als aanvulling op water uit putten of waterleidingen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appeal for proper monitoring of drinking water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many villages in the region face a series of problems related to water pipes, sewers and individual water wells. In many cases, there is hardly a proper, independent quality control of drinking water. Very often the control is merely a simple visual inspection. Water samples are barely taken and thoroughly investigated. In almost all the villages and settlements, people buy bottles of mineral water to supplement water from wells or water pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apel catre monitorizarea corespunzatoare a apei potabile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Multe sate din regiune se confrunt\u0103 cu o serie de probleme legate de conductele de ap\u0103, canalizare \u0219i f\u00e2nt\u00e2ni din gospod\u0103rii. \u00cen multe cazuri, este greu de efectuat un control riguros \u0219i independent al calit\u0103\u021bii apei potabile. De foarte multe ori controlul consta \u00eentr-o simpl\u0103 inspectie vizual\u0103 Foarte rar sunt luate probe de ap\u0103 \u0219i investigate \u00een laborator. \u00cen aproape toate satele \u0219i asez\u0103rile, oamenii cumpar\u0103 ap\u0103 mineral\u0103 \u00eembuteliat\u0103 pentru a \u00eenlocui apa din f\u00e2nt\u00e2ni sau de la re\u021bea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instellingen afwachtend om waterzuiveraars te plaatsen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ziekenhuizen en bejaardenhuizen in de regio geven elke maand meerdere honderden euro\u2019s uit aan bronwater in plastic flessen voor hun personeel. In Roemeni\u00eb dienen pati\u00ebnten in ziekenhuizen of bewoners van bejaardenhuizen zelf voor water te zorgen, in een winkel gekocht of meegebracht van thuis, met alle risico\u2019s van dien. Gekeken wordt of bij deze instellingen aan de ingang waterzuiveraars geplaatst kunnen worden. Bij veel instellingen is er echter een afwachtende houding om de waterzuiveraars te installeren. Veel Roemenen vermoeden dat daardoor openlijk aangetoond wordt dat het slecht gesteld is met de waterkwaliteit in hun omgeving, en dat dit negatieve gevolgen zal hebben op bijvoorbeeld het toerisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutions hesitant to install water filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hospitals in the region achieve every month spring water in plastic bottles for their staff at a the price of several hundred of euros. Patients need either to purchase it in a store or bring their own water from home with all the risks. We will examine whether these institutions can place water purifiers at their entrances. In many institutions, however, there is a cautious attitude to install water filters. Many Romanians suspect that such a situation will publicly show a bad state of water quality in their area and that would have a negative impact on tourism for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutiile sunt ezitante \u00een a instala filtre de apa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spitalele din regiune achizi\u021bioneaza \u00een fiecare lun\u0103 apa de izvor \u00een sticle de plastic pentru personal la un pre\u021b de c\u00e2teva sute de euro. Pacien\u021bii \u00eens\u0103 trebuie fie s\u0103 cumpere apa imbuteliat\u0103 din magazin ori s\u0103-\u0219i aduc\u0103 de acas\u0103, cu toate riscurile pe care aceasta le presupune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vom examina dac\u0103 aceste institutii pot instala purificatoare de ap\u0103 la intr\u0103rile \u00een cl\u0103dire. \u00cen multe institu\u021bii din p\u0103cate se observ\u0103 o atitudine reticent\u0103 \u00een a instala astfel de filtre de ap\u0103. Multi rom\u00e2ni suspecteaza c\u0103 o astfel de situa\u021bie va ar\u0103ta \u00een mod public o stare proast\u0103 a calit\u0103tii apei \u00een zona lor iar aceasta ar avea un impact negativ asupra turismului, de exemplu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMHO<\/strong> en Water4Life<\/strong> hebben ook een lokaal bedrijf bezocht dat interesse heeft in het bouwen van de waterzuiveraars uit aardewerk. Een proefmodel wordt gemaakt (zie resultaat). Ook het klooster van Moldovita is ingelicht over het project met de waterzuiveraars. Graag wil het klooster ge\u00efnformeerd blijven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMHO<\/strong> and Water4Life<\/strong> have also contacted a local company that is interested in making the water purifiers in pottery. A sample has been made to demonstrate the potential (see results). The monastery Moldovita was briefed on the actual project and expressed a clear interest in this matter. The monastery has asked us to keep it informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMHO<\/strong> \u0219i Water4Life<\/strong> au contactat, de asemenea, o companie local\u0103 care este interesat\u0103 \u00een a face purificatoare de ap\u0103 \u00een ceramic\u0103. O astfel de mostr\u0103 a fost f\u0103cut\u0103 pentru a demonstra poten\u021bialul acestui atelier (vezi mai jos rezultatele).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
