Abstract
The purpose of our project is to provide individuals with a safe way to stay hydrated if
they find themselves in a difficult situation in nature. There is a great lack of access to clean
drinking water around the world, and consuming unfiltered water is dangerous and can lead to
health complications, such as the contraction of waterborne diseases. We combined a straw filter
with a hydration pack to come up with the Thirstpack, an innovative solution to this major
worldwide problem. We created a three-dimensional model to demonstrate what the Thirstpack
looks like. In addition to assisting individuals, our innovation can benefit the conditions of many
places in need and lower the mortality rate, as well as improve the health and hygiene of
inhabitants.
