Research results from Larissa: Water and hospitals In Sweden: https://www.slideshare.net/zoegallou/research-in-our-school- about-environment-and-preservation Research results from Burdur: All hospitals in Sweden are recom- mended to have double water supplies to ensure that there is always water for the hospitals. If the normal supply of water is not enough, there should be another way of water entering the hospital. Without water it is difficult to exercise care, the dialysis is clearly affected, but also all forms of cleaning (sterile, for example) are stagnant without water supply. So even if you think you can handle patients in departments, it's hard to do treatments if you cannot clean instruments etc. Current dialysis, it is a very special part of health care that is com- pletely dependent on the fact that we have water. Without water, we cannot perform the treatments on the patients and then we have to start moving the entire operation to other hospitals, which in prac- tice is reversed if possible. The dialysis also has its own water treatment plants that further puri- fy incoming water to use it in dialy- sis. Even the dialysis water treat- ment plants have two of them so that we can switch everything on the other if you break down. Here at the hospital, we will soon have two water supplies to the hospital. A pipeline has been taken from Degerfors waterworks to provide the hospital. To operate a new wire, it must be flushed for a long time and after that there are a lot of sampling, etc. to ensure the water quality before the water is well connected to the hospital . We will have an entrance with Degerforsvatten to the hospital, but still two or more entrances of Karlskoga water. If there is a stop on the water from Degerfors, you can start one of the Karlskoga entrances and drive it to the hospi- tal. https://twinspace.etwinning.net/9538/pages/page/224424 3
