Abstract
This study introduces a novel in-line chlorine doser, the Stanford-MSR Venturi, designed to improve safe drinking water access in low-income settings. Utilizing the Venturi principle, the device automatically adds chlorine at water collection points without electricity or moving parts. Field testing in Kenya showed high technical performance (97.6% of samples had detectable chlorine residual), with strong demand from kiosk owners, who largely paid for service packages to lease or purchase the device. Customer surveys revealed that 66% preferred chlorinated water. The results indicate significant potential for scaling up the Venturi to enhance safe water access.
