Slogan which is given by this bicycle is "Kayuh sepedanya makanya sesampainya anda di rumah anda dapat meminum air jernih", it means paddle this bicycle and when you get home you can drink the fresh water. The capacity of water that can be received is until 8 liters.
Their design team is based on the reality that at least four families need around 20 gallons of water a day to fill the primary needs. Such as, for drinking, cooking, washing and taking a bath.
Aquaduct is a very good example of technology. Like the term which is created by the Economic expert from England, EF Schumacher. He said that Economy is the important thing where to be able to draw the technology that can fill the needs of human being at the local and regional level.
