<p>A water disinfection system and method thereof has a vertical water column directing channel (10) and an ultraviolet light beam generator system (28). The channel (10) has an open top end (20) and a channel interior space extending from the open top end (20). The ultraviolet light beam generator system (28) is arranged such that an ultraviolet light beam (12) generated therein exits through an ultraviolet beam exit and passes through the channel top open end (20) into the channel interior space. The light beam (12) is preferably absorbed by the water to increase efficiency of disinfection and may be collimated with a cross section (30) that is approximately the same as the cross section of the column of water. The column of water has notches (304) at the top end thereof and is longer than the distance the light beam travels before it is absorbed.</p> |
