+ | As our climate rapidly declines, desert areas in Sub-Saharan Africa have become increasingly drier over the years, with little to no rainfall during the monsoon seasons, when they typically expect to receive the bulk of the year's water supply. The frequent droughts have dramatically limited the amount of clean drinkable water in these areas. | ||

+ | After attending a conference in South Africa, [[Jame Eagan]], Lumon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This depleted tank is also worn, its lining composed of a harmful plastic material that has been slowly decaying over time and more rapidly due to the oppressive heat. These particles have been deteriorating into the water tank, increasing the acidity of the already far from alkaline water, causing many people dependent on the tank to get sick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When the tank's water supply is stretched for weeks at a time until the tank can be refilled by the government, the people in these areas are forced to choose between drinking water and bathing themselves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After Jame Eagan returned from his trip, he knew that Lumon had the capabilities and the resources to do something to help better the quality of these people' | ||
+ | |||

+ | Fortuitously, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The engineers also developed a plumbing system that makes it possible to pump water from groundwater sources that had previously been too far to reach. The department' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once production and testing were complete, Lumon began installing the pipework from the nearest groundwater supply to Libono nearly 500 miles away, making it one of the longest underground water pipeway systems in the world | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the piping was complete, they began the filtration center build. The filtration center is only 5 short miles outside the village, making more accessible for deliveries and routine maintenance. During the filtration process, the water passes through a series of patented filters to remove nearly all impurities. In the same filtration center, Tumwater is then introduced to the decontaminated water. Once the Tumwater has been added, the water pH rises to nine, making it a safe alkalinity for people to drink. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After these processes are complete, the water is then piped to the village into Lumon wells throughout the village. It has been six months since Lumon installed this filtration in Libono. Since its induction, villagers are no longer dehydrated, they are thriving. The instances of hypernatremia have entirely diminished, and the cases of dysentery are now at a record low. | ||

+ | Jame Eagan believes that education is paramount and is dedicated to bringing it to people who would otherwise never have one. They plan to start introducing //klear// to the areas surrounding Libono in a few short months. With the expansion of the piping system, Lumon looks to then... | ||
