Abstract: Access to clean drinking water is a major challenge in many rural and disasteraffected areas. This project presents a solar-powered portable water purifier that provides safe drinking water without the need for electricity. The device uses solar energy to run a multistage filtration system, including filters and UV purification, to remove impurities, chemicals, and harmful microorganisms. The purifier is lightweight, easy to use, and suitable for travellers, rural households, and emergency situations. It also includes a battery for use during low sunlight conditions. By using renewable energy, the system reduces environmental impact and dependence on bottled water. Overall, this project offers an affordable, sustainable, and effective solution to improve access to safe drinking water.
