Need response on low-cost solutions for safe drinking water - Can the model be replicated in other places?

Hi,
I am a healthcare professional and a independent blogger. I read this article on the wonderful work that you are doing in India posted at Knowledge@Wharton. The link for the article is http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/india/article.cfm?articleid=4704. I have a few follow up questions and it would great if I could get some responses to them from the India team.

  • What exactly is the process used for making water potable?
  • What revenue models are available to users?
  • Why did they start with AP? Can they replicate this in places where populations may be over 3,000 people?
  • What tools are they using to market themselves?
  • What do Doctors have to say about the effects of using this water? Have diseases gone down? Basic ailments reduced? Better teeth? It would great if you could throw some light on the same.

Regards,
