An Innovative Method for Supplying Water for Consumption in Crisis Situations
Journal Title: Safety & Fire Technology - Year 2018, Vol 49, Issue 49
Abstract
Aim: Preliminary application for a utility model entitled „Temporary mobile station for the treatment of water for consumption”, particularly useful in emergency situations, such as floods, when both surface and deep water is contaminated. It is the final result of statutory research of the author at the Main School of Fire Service. The owner of the utility model is the Main School of Fire Service, while the author of the utility model is Prof. Slawczo Denczew. Currently, research is underway to develop a prototype and then carry out research on the use of the utility model in real life situations. Methods: The article presents current ways of supplying water to the general public in crisis situations. Taking into account the state of the art in Europe and worldwide, an innovative mobile water treatment post has been proposed to tackle the problem of emergency water supply to the public in emergency situations. It is intended to constitute an alternative solution, useful especially during flooding, when water sources within water supply systems are contaminated and polluted. Results: Based on a review of literature, patents and utility models in the patent offices in Europe and worldwide, we have developed a temporary mobile station for the treatment of water for consumption, which is protected by a utility model granted by the Patent Office until 2023. The lack of such solutions in the world confirms its innovative and original character. Conclusions: Following the development of utility model documentation for the temporary mobile station for the treatment of water for consumption and the granting of utility model protection, we are able to build a prototype and carry out studies on the supply of water to the public in crisis situations. Our invention can be used in both urban and rural areas with dispersed housing and generally large distances between the farms, where mobility is one of the conditions for quick access to buildings and the supply of water necessary for life.
