Water is a versatile resource that is vital to human health, yet 2.2 billion people around the world (1/3) do not have access to safe drinking water.Although abundant to the majority of the UK, it can be difficult to obtain drinking water to appropriate drinking standards in rural locations where properties are detached from utilities companies and reliant on untreated Private Water Supplies such as boreholes, wells and streams.These limitations disadvantage rural communities in the UK and all around the world, and can be attributed directly to the reduced economic growth in remote areas, as well as a growing reliance on environmentally and financially costly plastic bottled water.Clean Water Designs, has the idea, aligned directly to UN SDG 6 Clean water for all, 3 Health and Wellbeing, 12 Responsible Consumption and 13 Climate Action, to develop the technology to bring the highest quality water to where it's needed, anywhere in the world at point of use, sustainably reducing the reliance on plastic bottled water in rural communities using a proprietary high-speed, low energy distillation technology.In this project, Clean Water Designs will use Human Centred Design to test and discover a new physical user interface, that will make adoption of their technology possible, gaining extensive user insights into the required power availability, water volumes, size and environmental measures, that will allow them to test and produce a bespoke market leading product for rural properties in the UK, and later the rest of the world.Developing their team, they will develop Planet Centred Design, Carbon Modelling capabilities to understand what a positive impact would look like for our idea.They will take into account the unique challenges and requirements of rural properties, making it fit for purpose for Scottish Island properties as a starting point, and focus on: Inspiration - understanding and describing the user context and defining the user requirements; Ideation - drafting design solutions, and testing and evaluating those solutions; and Implementation - Business Planning and Development Toward Commercialisation.In this project, Clean Water Designs will bring this innovative UK invention closer to market, acting on existing user pull and letters of intent from rural property owners in need of a sustainable solution to their drinking water problems, and set the groundwork for international expansion to address our sustainable development goals.

水是一种对人类健康至关重要的多用途资源，但全世界有22亿人（1/3）无法获得安全的饮用水。尽管英国大部分地区的水资源丰富，但在农村地区很难获得符合饮用标准的饮用水，因为这些地区的房产与公用事业公司分离，并依赖未经处理的私人供水，如钻孔，威尔斯和溪流。这些限制使英国和世界各地的农村社区处于不利地位，可以直接归因于偏远地区经济增长放缓，以及越来越多地依赖环境和经济成本高昂的塑料瓶装水。清洁水设计的想法直接与联合国可持续发展目标6人人享有清洁水，3健康和福祉，12负责任的消费和13气候行动，开发技术，将最高质量的水带到需要的地方，在世界任何地方的使用点，使用专有的高速，低能耗蒸馏技术可持续地减少农村社区对塑料瓶装水的依赖。在这个项目中，Clean Water Designs将使用以人为本的设计来测试和发现新的物理用户界面，这将使采用他们的技术成为可能，获得对所需电力可用性，水量，大小和环境措施的广泛用户见解，这将使他们能够测试和生产一个定制的市场领先的产品，为农村物业在英国，然后在世界其他地区。发展他们的团队，他们将开发地球为中心的设计，碳建模能力，以了解什么样的积极影响会看起来像我们的想法。他们将考虑到农村物业的独特挑战和要求，使其适合苏格兰岛屿属性的目的作为出发点，并专注于：灵感-理解和描述用户环境并定义用户需求;构思-起草设计解决方案，并测试和评估这些解决方案;和实施-商业规划和发展走向商业化。在这个项目中，清洁水设计将使这一创新的英国发明更接近市场，对现有的用户拉动和农村业主的意向书，需要一个可持续的解决方案，以他们的饮用水问题，并为国际扩张奠定基础，以实现我们的可持续发展目标。
