Capture of evaporated water with novel membranes (CapWa)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

One of the major challenges of this century is the provision of safe drinking water for a growing population. The shortage in water resources in arid areas requires the availability of more efficient and cheaper drinking water production processes. For groundwater, it is often sufficient to aerate and disinfect to produce drinking water. However, in large parts of the world the use of groundwater ...
