Aquaduct: Mobile Water Filtration

The Aquaduct Mobile Filtration Vehicle, a.k.a The Aquaduct, is designed particularly for people in developing nations for whom attaining clean water is a problem. It is a pedal-powered concept vehicle that transports, filters, and stores water in its tanks. The rear of the bicycle can be filled with water and as the rider pedals the vehicle, water is drawn through a filter and into a closed receptacle/tank.

The Aquaduct vehicle seeks to address the two main challenges with water in the developing world: sanitation and transportation. The functional Aquaduct model was designed and constructed over a three-week period for the 'Innovate or Die' contest hosted by Specialized Bicycles, Google, and Goodby, Silverstein and Partners. It was the winning entry in the contest. ~ Aquaduct
