Since 1991 EAWAG (The Swiss Federal Institute for
Environmental Science and Technology) and SANDEC (EAWAG's Department of Water and
Sanitation in Developing Countries) conducted extensive laboratory and field tests to
develop and test the Solar Water Disinfection Process (SODIS). SODIS is a simple method to
improve the quality of drinking water by using sunlight to inactivate pathogens causing
diarrhoea. Contaminated water is filled into transparent plastic bottles and exposed to
the full sunlight for 5 hours. During the exposition, the sun destroys the pathogens. The
sunlight is disinfecting the water through two effects: Radiation in the spectrum of UV-A
