The first five solar-powered drinking water systems are operating at full capacity in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. The systems were installed by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) over the past six months. The tanks have increased the daily water supply in crowded camps. UNHCR hopes to use this technology to make humanitarian action “greener” and less polluting.
These networks are powered entirely by electricity generated by solar panels. Motorized pumps draw water from chlorinated tanks, which have a capacity of 70,000 liters. The water is piped to communal taps, which are installed throughout the Kutupalong refugee camp. UNHCR aims to provide 20 liters of clean, safe water to refugees every day.
