Technology for the Development of Alternative Sources of Drinking Water
Key points
The United Nations World Water Day on 22 March 2025 focuses on “Glacier Preservation”. Glaciers serve as a crucial backup for drinking water supplies from rivers and lakes by feeding them with meltwater and maintaining water levels during periods of low rainfall.
However, it is essential to prepare for alternative sources of drinking water to secure future water supplies for millions of people. This perspective is shared by Heinz Lutz, CEO of Lutz-Jesco, a company based in Wertheim that specialises in drinking water technology.
“The regions affected should also prepare to make greater use of alternative sources of water such as rainwater and surface water” – Heinz Lutz, CEO of Lutz Holding GmbH
Climate change is causing glaciers to retreat across the globe. As a result, many regions are losing these natural reservoirs, which play a vital role in replenishing rivers and groundwater aquifers. “Glaciers are an important source of drinking water in many areas of the world, such as parts of Asia, South America and Europe. It is therefore crucial for the people affected that we act to slow down the dramatic decline in the ice masses – in particular by reducing CO2 emissions,” explains Heinz Lutz, CEO of Lutz Holding GmbH. “The regions affected should also prepare to make greater use of alternative sources of water such as rainwater and surface water. However, since these sources can often be more heavily contaminated with pollutants, microplastics and chemical impurities, technologies for safe water treatment are of central importance in achieving this aim.”
Mobile Chlorination Systems Enable Rapid Disinfection of Drinking Water
For decades, Lutz-Jesco has been at the forefront of developing advanced water treatment technology for use in drinking water plants worldwide, including filtration, disinfection and dosing systems. Its portfolio also includes mobile technologies that are particularly effective for treating alternative water sources. One example is SAFETYCHLORMIX. This plug-and-play chlorination system is mounted on a pushcart, allowing a single person to transport it wherever emergency chlorination is required and begin work immediately.
The SAFETYCHLORMIX for Fast and Reliable Disinfection of Drinking Water
At the core of the system is a MAGDOS series diaphragm dosing pump that introduces a calcium hypochlorite solution into contaminated water, eliminating bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. “The mobile design of the system means that it can be deployed flexibly, especially in areas requiring the fast and reliable disinfection of drinking water – for example, for the supply of remote regions or the implementation of measures needed at short notice,” says Lutz.
A New Control Cabinet Operates Disinfection Systems with Solar Energy
With Solarhub, a solar power system that operates pumps and disinfection systems, Lutz-Jesco can now deploy drinking water treatment solutions in areas without an electricity supply. “Our solar power system is fully pre-configured with all the components required for operation. This includes solar panels, a storage battery, a battery charge controller, an inverter and the cabling,” says Lutz.
The Solarhub Powers Pumps and Disinfection Systems
The seamless integration of all components eliminates the need for users to handle complex technical configurations. Instead, they can immediately begin using the solar power system with confidence in its reliability. “In times of glacial retreat, technologies such as these can help in the development of alternative sources of drinking water, especially in remote areas.”
