ABSTRACT: The NURTURE water purification project provides a small‚ economical‚ water purification system that may be applied on a larger scale. The design has minimal moving parts‚ thereby reducing the risk of mechanical failure. The final device is driven from a windmill interface. The design easily separates waste and optimizes clean water output. The NURTURE water purification project is intended to fulfill the requirements of the ASME design competition and then be adapted to use a renewable

Water is a basic necessity for the life forms here on Earth. At a given moment‚ only about 1/100‚000 part of the earth’s supply of water is found in the atmosphere‚ yet it is this atmospheric water that brings moisture to the surface of the earth and makes it habitable.
