Communal Projects<br />
One of the primary concerns of the University was the solutions to on goings problems that the society<br />
was facing. The University called for a common meeting of the scientists and the elders and chiefs of<br />
the tribes to hear their needs and to find possible solutions. It was probably the first and the last of<br />
such a gathering. On the basis of what had been expressed we had been able to tackle some basic<br />
needs. Here are a few of the projects in which I have been involved. These are actually basic<br />
solutions we had seen widely used in India. What I had done was to modify them to suite the cultural<br />
needs of <strong>Sudan</strong><br />
Filtering of water for drinking<br />
One of the first problem was the availability of clean water to drink. The following method of filtration<br />
is simply adopted from India where the water is filtered through layers of coarse Pebbles to remove<br />
large contaminates and then through sine white river sand to remove fine suspensions. It is then<br />
passed through wood charcoal pieces and then fine ground carbon where dissolved components are<br />
removed.<br />
