# 2025 TuriTap |
|
TuriTap is a passive chlorine doser adapted for handpumps, bringing safe water to rural communities without electricity or behaviour change. Using the Venturi effect, it meters liquid chlorine as water flows, disinfecting at the source and providing residual protection. Because handpumps produce irregular, pulsed flow, the new handpump attachment stabilises dosing to keep concentrations consistent. Field trials show treated water meets WHO residual-chlorine guidelines. Low cost and scalable, TuriTap helps prevent waterborne illness while fitting existing collection routines
Jeremy is an environmental engineering PhD student in the Pickering Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. His research aims to inform strategies for increasing global access to safe drinking water, particularly by developing and evaluating new water treatment technologies like in-line chlorination. He has evaluated implementation models for in-line chlorination across India, Kenya, and Nigeria in recent years. Jeremy is also a co-founder of Mangrove Water, a new non-profit organization that provides technical support to governments and organizations seeking to implement in-line chlorination in their drinking water infrastructure.more
