SDG 6 Solutions
SDG 6 seeks to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030. Globally, over 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, with contaminants like fluoride posing health risks, especially in rural areas. Horizon17’s clean water initiative addresses this challenge with sustainable, technology-driven solutions.
"Over 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safely managed drinking water, with fluoride contamination affecting millions in rural regions."
Our Solution: Sustainable Fluoride Removal
Horizon17 introduces a patented, calcium-based filtration system to remove fluoride from water, making it safe and accessible, particularly in underserved regions.
How It Works
- Utilizes a calcium-based media to reduce fluoride levels from up to 20 ppm to below 1 ppm, meeting WHO standards.
- Generates hydroxyapatite in-situ, mimicking natural adsorption processes.
- Operates without electricity, ideal for rural deployment.
Key Benefits
- Long-lasting reaction bed (up to 50 years) with minimal maintenance.
- Cost-effective and locally maintainable compared to traditional systems.
- Eco-friendly, with spent media repurposable in industries like cement manufacturing.
Impact
This solution provides clean, safe water to communities, reduces health risks from fluoride contamination, and supports SDG 6’s target of universal water access with a sustainable, low-carbon footprint approach.
