Abstract

This article presents the study of the availability of water suitable for human consumption and irrigation, as well as the design of a prototype of a device for water treatment in Amazonian communities, as a solution to the problem of access to vital liquid. Based on the current context of the communities, relationships between the economy, time and the socio-cultural aspect are defined to generate accessibility and innovation mechanisms; After an in-depth investigation, the design of a composite filtration prototype for the treatment of water for human consumption in Amazonian communities is presented, basing the experience of similar investigations developed in recent years throughout the world, it is committed to the use of composite filtration technologies and biofilters, this design is capable of generating quality water for human consumption from the water sources of surface water and groundwater present in the Warints and Yawi communities, one of the main advantages is its portability in the point of use, in addition the utilities and technical aspects of the design are detailed.
