The simple new technology, developed by ANU materials scientist Mr Tony Flynn, allows water filters to be made from commonly available materials and fired on the ground using cow manure as the source of heat, without the need for kiln. The filters have been tested and shown to remove common pathogens including E-coli. Unlike other water filtering devices, the filters are simple and inexpensive to make.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t need to go into the virtues of clean water&#8230; What a wonderfully simple innovation!<\/p>\n<p>Technorati tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/clean+water\" rel=\"tag\">clean water<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/filter\" rel=\"tag\">filter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/innovation\" rel=\"tag\">innovation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tkqlhce.com\/click-1674704-8063763\">Click here for All Natural Weed &amp;
