Appropriate technologies

Speaking the right technology, a collection of quotes from wikipedia, is an appropriate technology for developing countries or remote areas and backward in industrialized countries, which he and the real may be short of money and lack the ability to operate and maintain and develop high technology. In practice is something described as a technology as simple and most efficient technology that effectively made to be able to reach the goal.

Characteristics of this technology is low cost and require less maintenance and spare parts. The more often we can say that proper maintenance, when maintenance can be handled locally with existing equipment, expertise, and materials. Just called efficient when using a technology that can be repaired locally.

On the other side of appropriate technology is seen as a technology that can fit in and can survive and grow by more than one or more specific use, particularly areas used by members of certain communities. An example is the direct use of solar energy in India. Community of Auroville in Pondicherry India, has posted a "Solar Bowl" are great, used as solar energy stoves. Used in a place that has a climate that allows the sun shining brightly.

One example of appropriate technology that does not mean low technology. The use of light from the LED lamps can sometimes be used in remote areas where energy needs are so few that LEDs can save energy.

By prioritizing a low cost, fossil fuel use that bit, and use local resources to provide the benefits of sustainability.

Water treatment

Water and the source is one of the natural wealth that is absolutely needed by living things to maintain their survival and maintain their health. The water that fills more than two-thirds of the entire earth's surface, giving place to stay is 300 times larger than the mainland, but most of the water can not be directly used for the benefit of sentient beings. Only 1% of the benefits of water that can be used as clean water, to be a water / drinking water should have the technology.

The technology applied, starting from raw water collection, water treatment for water quality depends on the source of raw water, and then through the distribution system through the piping to the service area.

Water Treatment can be performed on the raw water which basically does not meet drinking water quality standards / net in force, so that the elements that do not meet the standards need to be eliminated or reduced, so that all water meets applicable standards. This is done with water treatment. Technology for water treatment is highly dependent on raw water sources with water quality of all kinds to be processed.

Some municipal water treatment center or water treatment urban areas with large-scale water treatment by adding a chemical compound penggumpal (coagulant) into the dirty water to be treated. In this way the particles in the water will become a larger mass should then be ngendap. Only then water at the top of the net are separated to be used everyday purposes. However, good penggumpal chemicals are not easily found in many remote areas.Even if there is a definite price is not affordable by the local community.

One alternative is to use a natural coagulant that is available locally from plants that may be found all around us. Studies by the Environmental Engineering Group at the University of Leicester, England, has long studied the potential use of various natural coagulant in water treatment processes of small scale, medium, and they concentrate on the potency besar.Penelitian coagulant of bean flour plant Moringa oleifera. Plant is widely grown in northern India, but now has spread everywhere throughout the tropics, including Indonesia. In Indonesia, this plant is known as the Moringa plant with small leaves.

With informed consent and with full awareness of appropriate technologies to replace existing technology so it is good we immediately make use of Moringa leaves this as one alternative to the use of this natural coagulant
