How to get safe drinking water from Sweage

Toilets in the developing countries are most commonly located on pits. Septic trucks are hired to pump out the sewage and carry it away. In most cases dumping sites for sewage is a river, bay, stream, ocean etc., This sweage contaminating our environment and natural resources, causing people to get sick. Improper sanitation also creates economic stress to the countries. More than 2.5 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Each day more than 8,40000 people die due waterborne diseases.

Simple solution to these problems is Omni Processor. An idea given by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. This technique not only treat sweage but also turns sweage into pure water and electricity. No fuel is needed to operate this plant, as it uses dry sweage as a fuel. The goal of the Gates Foundation is to improve the quality of life for people around the world. Over 2.5 billion people around the world do not have access to safe sanitation, which is why Bill Gates is working with a company that built a sewage treatment machine that can turn human waste into drinkable water. The Omni Processor was built to provide drinkable water for those in need.
Modern sewage plants do not have the same efficiencies as the Omni Processor. Some modern sewage plants turns the wastes into solids and stores it in the desert. Other plants burn waste by using diesel or other procured fuels, thus consuming a lot of energy.
How it works:
It boils the wet sweage which separates the solids from the water. An incinerator burns the dried-out solids. This in turn produces high-pressure steam that helps drive the steam engine and, through a generator, makes electricity that can power the Omni Processor.  This steam goes through a series of filters and is then condensed, through condenser producing purified water. The machine thus turns sewage into clean drinking water, electricity and pathogen-free ash.  
The process repeats by collecting the sludge and moves it up a conveyor belt where it is boiled into water vapour. After the solid sludge dries up, it is fed into a burner to make high-pressure steam that is sent to a generator to make electricity  and simultaneously, producing safe drinking water.

Solar Energy

Solar energy is an abundant, free, unlimited, renewable and continuous flow of energy that can be utilised to meet the future challenges of energy need. The sun, is like a fusion reactor that has been burning over 4 billion years. If we harness whole energy of sun, it’s one minute supply meets the world's energy needs for one year. In one day, it provides more energy than our current population would consume in 27 years. In fact, "The amount of solar radiation striking the earth over a three-day period is equivalent to the energy stored in all fossil energy sources." In 1839 a French physicist named Edmund Becquerel realized that the sun's energy could produce a "photovoltaic effect" (photo = light, voltaic = electrical potential). In the 1880s, selenium photovoltaic (PV) cells were developed that could convert light into electricity with 1-2% efficiency. When sunlight strike the solar cell, the electrons their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow thro
