时事通讯:相信改变水将改变他们的生活——雅马哈汽车的水净化系统为新兴市场的人们带来新生活亚博比分官网

雅马哈清洁供水系统(YCW)是一种紧凑的水净化系统，采用慢砂过滤的天然净水方法。在发展中国家缺乏清洁水源的小村庄或定居点，这些设施已证明是有效的。
2022年，肯尼亚和埃塞俄比亚的村庄安装了新的YCW装置，使其总数达到45台，分布在15个国家，主要在非洲和亚洲。
亚博比分官网雅马哈汽车的目标是通过与各国政府和国际组织的密切合作，进一步扩大YCW的引进。

雅马哈清洁供水系统(YCW) (//www.dermesropian.com/business/cw/)是一种紧凑的水净化系统，使用慢砂过滤，一种天然的水净化方法。对于发展中国家无法获得饮用水的小定居点或村庄来说，这是一个有效的系统。运营YCW设施不需要大量的电力，不需要专家的维护，也不需要特殊的化学药剂，居民可以独立维护。


　Access to clean water is a serious issue and part of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals with SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. To date, it is estimated that 26% of the world's population--approximately 2 billion people--do not have access to safely managed drinking water services (UNICEF/2020). Yamaha Motor is actively working to introduce the YCW system through cooperation with international organizations, NGOs, Japanese embassies, and other organizations in each target country. At present, 45 units are in operation in Africa and Asia, and the potable water they provide is contributing to the reduction of diseases, freeing women and children from hard work of drawing water, and giving birth to new sources of cash income for residents through water-related businesses, such as delivery services.
　OKABE, Norihiko of Yamaha Motor's Overseas Market Development Operation (OMDO) Business Unit is in charge of introducing YCWs to new locations. "Life really does change when the water changes," he explains. "We've seen this happen in every location and I want to keep growing the number of settlements equipped with YCWs into the future."

安装一台YCW机组大约需要两周时间，冈部和OMDO的其他成员在建筑工地与当地居民一起努力工作。然而，这项工作本身并不是一个简单的过程，因为它往往发生在基础设施高度发达的国家。当YCW系统最初开发时，几乎没有安装完全按计划完成的实例。
　"When water couldn't be pumped because of an unknown problem with the intake pump, I took the 40 kg pump back to the hotel and struggled for days in the bathtub trying to find the culprit," shares Okabe. "We'd face unforeseen issues one after another, like if the plumbing got clogged, we'd head into the river with the locals to inspect it, or when working at high elevations in Ethiopia, we'd be battling altitude sickness together, and so on."
　All the memories that come to his mind are of dealing with problems, but his face speaks of the incredible fulfillment he gets from his job. "It's because I've seen the big smiles of the villagers the first time clean water comes out of the faucet after all the struggles and hard work." And as they begin to rejoice, sing, and dance, Okabe maintains that it is a scene overflowing with Kando.*
　Today, the storage tanks and other parts for YCW units are manufactured in Indonesia and exported to their destined countries. "But I feel to bring clean water to more people and communities, we need to set up a means for local production," admits Okabe. In short, the local production of YCW systems is where he now has his focus trained on, i.e., the next big challenge for the project.

*Kando是一个日语单词，意思是当我们遇到特殊价值的东西时，我们同时感受到的深深的满足和强烈的兴奋。


亚博比分官网雅马哈汽车最初对清洁水的担忧出现在20世纪70年代。这一切都始于我们驻印尼员工的家人报告说，他们的日常生活遇到了麻烦，因为自来水是棕色的，浑浊的。作为回应，雅马哈开始开发家用净水器，并于1991年开始向公众销售。

我们今天为那些有需要的人提供清洁水的努力始于近50年前的这个故事，2013年，雅马哈清洁供水系统获得了日本优秀设计金奖，评委称赞它是国际援助的典范，理解发展中国家的需求和面临的情况。
