Abstract |
|
Seventy six million people in India lack access to an improved water source, putting them at risk for waterborne diseases. Exacerbating the problem of poor water quality is inequitable access. Out of 29 Indian states, only seven have achieved full coverage of protected water source for their villages. Large segments of the population don’t have access to improved water sources at all, and are forced to travel long distances in search of clean water, or purchase it from vendors at exorbitant prices. This is the problem wello wheel is tackling. Interestingly, their first sale was in Rajasthan, where tribal village leaders negotiated the purchase of their first rough water wheel prototype in exchange for locally-woven camel hair rugs. After validating the product, they worked with local manufacturers to fabricate the products. Wello looks at itself as a design venture which builds innovative products for the rural market. |
