Low cost ceramic filters in Nepal

Potters for peace designed a low cost water filter using clay and colloidal silver. Is meant to be incredibly effective, given the cost. See: http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/000112.html
The charity IDE were supporting this idea in Nepal but seem to have stopped. Haven't contacted the guy below given by IDE so don't know what these filters now are or what they cost. Feel free to explore!

Note from IDE:

IDE Nepal was involved in CS filter promotion but now we are not working in this field. We have handed over our technology to one entrepreneur in Kathmandu who is doing his business. The filter is not ceramic, plastic container is used and good for filtering ecoli and coliform. For detail you can contact

Factsheet 10: A Review of Sanitation Regulatory Frameworks for Sweden, Mexico, South Africa and Uganda (PDF 59 KB)

As far as I can see, Nepal has extremely weak legislation regarding sanitation, and next to no enforcement. Maybe one day.

Interesting project in China where an on-site "waste" management system has been developed in an urban setting. Its new and has some teething troubles, mainly with people adapting to their new toilets, educating unsuspecting guests to their houses how it works, cleaning with a wet brush only and no running water, and some issues of odour from blocked or badly designed ventilation system. But the majority are happy with it and it is of course much cheaper (water, energy and capital costs than the alternative.
