Researchers from Tripura University have introduced a solution that converts floodwater into potable water, offering relief to villages in Sivasagar.
Assam’s Sivasagar district has faced severe flooding in recent months, leaving many villages without reliable access to clean drinking water.
In response, a team of scientists from Tripura University has developed a technique that treats floodwater, making it safe for consumption.
The researchers’ approach involves a series of filtration and disinfection steps that remove contaminants and pathogens, turning the water into a potable resource.
Local residents now have a new source of drinking water, and the project is being hailed as a hopeful model that could be replicated in other flood‑prone areas.
