Miami Beach, January 2008 After my students and I arrived at the conclusion that the town needs a steady supply of clean, safe water, I was looking for a low cost water filter system. As I perused the internet, I came across the Moringa tree. The more I read, the more intrigued I became. One tree can supply enough material for one family to filter their water all year. The Moringa tree grows in Haiti. Scientists and lay persons alike publish their findings on the extremely interesting website: "The Moringa News Network". www.moringanews.org Here are some exerpts from a sample article written in Nigeria a while back: "Studies on the potential use of Medicinal Plants and Macrofungi (Lower plants) in water and waste water purification" By Kenneth Anchang Yongabi FMENV/ZERI Research Centre, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Pmb 0248, Bauchi, Nigeria .
