Access to clean drinking water is a global challenge, especially in regions plagued by scarcity or contamination. Therefore, we present a solution: Aqua Purification Straw designed to be compact, affordable, and user-friendly. Integrating activated charcoal, ceiba plant cotton, sand, and gravel within a plastic housing, this innovation effectively removes impurities and pathogens from water. Its objective is to provide a cost-effective means of obtaining potable water for hikers, travelers, and communities lacking access to clean sources. By leveraging natural filtration mechanisms, this solution offers a sustainable and accessible remedy to the critical issue of safe hydration in diverse environments.
