See Our System Work: Clean Water, Powered by Solar Innovation
See how AquaSom Solutions transforms seawater into safe, drinkable water for Somali communities using solar‑powered desalination and community‑driven design.
How Our System Works
Our clean‑water system is designed for the realities of Somalia: remote locations, high temperatures, and limited infrastructure. Here’s how it works from start to finish.
1. Solar Energy Collection
We use high‑efficiency solar panels to power the entire system, eliminating the need for diesel or fuel.
2. Water Intake & Pre‑Filtration
Seawater or brackish water is drawn in and passed through pre‑filters to remove sand, debris, and impurities.
3. Desalination & Purification
Through reverse osmosis and multi‑stage filtration, we convert unsafe water into clean, safe drinking water.
4. Storage & Distribution
Purified water is stored in secure tanks and delivered to communities through taps or distribution points.
Why Our System Works in Somalia
Our approach is built specifically for Somali communities and climate conditions.
- 100% solar‑powered
- No diesel or fuel cost
- Works in remote and off‑grid areas
- Low maintenance and easy to operate
- Designed for high‑heat environments
- Community‑managed for long‑term sustainability
- Scalable for villages, IDP camps, and urban neighborhoods
Real Impact Across Somalia
We work directly with communities to ensure every system is culturally aligned, sustainable, and locally supported.
22 Community Partnerships Across Somalia: Local leaders help guide system placement, community engagement, and long‑term success.
Together, we are building lasting clean‑water access for every Somali community.
