Russia’s attacks on infrastructure has left one of Ukraine’s biggest cities - Mykolaiv - without drinking water supplies for more than two years. We find out how residents are coping.
I cannot conceive how difficult this must be, to live without ready access to such a basic necessity. Reverse osmosis systems are widely used in Australia because tap water, especially in cities, is chemically treated - like Mykolaiv’s. Mini units can be readily attached to a kitchen supply and for elderly and disabled people, especially those who have access problems like high rises, could be helpful. One unit per floor could service all the residents on that floor with drinking water. Perhaps the aid agencies could help?
Really interesting to hear they are used in homes! I suspect it is the cost which prevents this solution being more widely available - but perhaps the UN or one of these big intentional organisations should be trying to fund it!
Thank you … This winter I have spent some time thinking of the possibility of tap water, and how much work is spared by the infrastructure we have in most western towns.
I wish I could do some more for those who are bereft of that possibility.
We need more stories like this, including the incredible roles played by organizations like Samaritan's Purse and others to serve victims in Ukraine.
.... we are doing our best, check us out.
Thank you!
