Every year, 3-4 million people die from "water" -related illnesses on the planet. Many of them eat polluted water every day, take bacteria into their bodies, and fall ill. However, it seems that many people are still unaware that they are drinking “dangerous water”.

The "Drinkable Book" was developed by the charity WATER is LIFE to convey the importance of "clean water" to such people and to supply "clean water". The US media Huffington Post reports.

Drinkable books are books that teach you about water hygiene. That is not all. The pages of the book act as “filters” to remove dangerous bacteria in contaminated water such as cholera and typhoid fever.

If polluted water is passed through this filter, it will become "drinking water" that is more than 99% safe. One filter can supply 30 days'worth of clean water, and one book can supply 4 years' worth of clean water .

Some people in the world live in areas where there is no safe water or well-maintained water supply that we take for granted. I sincerely hope that this book will reach such people as much as possible.
