dc.description.abstract The Water for Health group at the CSIR represents South Africa in an international project to demonstrate solar disinfection (SODIS) of drinking water. This project is set to demonstrate that SODIS is an effective, appropriate and acceptable intervention against waterborne diseases. SODIS is a low tech, safe and affordable method to improve water quality which involves placing contaminated water into transparent bottles which are then placed in direct sunshine for six hours. The method has been approved by the World Health Organisation, and was commended for its proven efficiency in the aftermath of the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia in 2004. en
