Water - Sustainable Point-Of-Use Treatment Technologies (WATERSPOUTT)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2020,
The WHO estimates that in 2015 in Africa ~156 million people relied on untreated sources for their drinking water. WATERSPOUTT will design, develop, pilot and field-test a range of, sustainable point-of-use solar disinfection (SODIS) technologies that will provide affordable access to safe water to remote and vulnerable communities in Africa and elsewhere. These novel large-volume water treatment ...
