A villages water reservoir is contaminated with Ecoli. The water comes from a river and is "filtered" in 3 pools before it comes into the reservoir. The reservoir is 22 feet by 22 feet with a height of 12 feet. Water is constantly beeing taken and refilled without us being able to measure how much is taken and how much is filled up. The community has liquid chloride but they dont know how much to put in. I don't know what to tell them given that chloride has to be continuously be present. Ecoli makes the 400 children and 150 families of the village sick. What shall I tell them? How to measure when they have to add chloride? We could install a constant drip but again I am unsure about the amount given that we can not measure how much water is taken/refilled in the reservoir.
