DelAgua Kit Case Study - Comet-ME Testing in South Mount Hebron Region
Comet-ME is an Israeli-Palestinian NGO providing sustainable off-grid energy and water services to rural Palestinian communities in the South Mount Hebron region of the occupied Palestinian territories. The local Palestinian communities are not connected to the water grid and people depend on seasonal rainfall for their water supply, harvesting the rainwater in cisterns. Come-ME's water ...

Green Energy and Decentralized Water Treatment for the Caribbean
The hilly terrain of many Caribbean islands makes decentralized water and wastewater treatment a natural fit. Distributed treatment, which limits the need for fossil fuels and extensive infrastructure, could be a perfect fit for the islands’ needs Among water treatment industry professionals, consensus is growing that small- to medium-scale decentralized desalination and wastewater ...

Green Energy and Decentralized Water Treatment for the Caribbean
Distributed treatment, which limits the need for fossil fuels and extensive infrastructure, could be a perfect fit for the islands’ needs Among water treatment industry professionals, consensus is growing that small- to medium-scale decentralized desalination and wastewater treatment plants are the way forward in a water-stressed future. But, governments continue to announce new water ...

The The `Design for Autonomous Net-Zero Water Buildings` Project Funded By NSF
The students at the University of Miami will know firsthand the importance of rethinking the way we handle wastewater and water with a Net-Zero water treatment system on site. The project showed the viability and feasibility to take buildings off the water grid to provide water recycling and how it can be achieved without raising the cost of high quality water. The research team behind this ...

Introduction to Sustainability
Living Sustainably? Everyone knows that awareness of the need to live sustainably is growing and increasingly gaining traction in the face of global warming…too bad nobody is telling us what this might mean for us as individuals. Eating meat is apparently not sustainable, so why do my sustainability supporting kids love steak? Is this what living sustainably should be like? Not doing ...

Study Identifies Arsenic Strategies for Bangladesh
Naturally occurring poison in groundwater is causing public health crisis The nation of Bangladesh, on the Bay of Bengal between Myanmar and India, is not quite the size of Iowa, but it has developed a continent-sized arsenic contamination problem. Because of the nation’s coastal topography, the toxic metalloid occurs naturally in the groundwater that Bangladeshis depend on, and the ...

Full Water Cycle Solutions for Caribbean Resorts
Desalination and water reuse together offer a sustainable water and wastewater management solution Vacation resorts on Caribbean islands offer an idyllic escape from the rat race. But for operators, availability of fresh water can pose a challenge and limit growth. Once fresh water has been used within a resort, the wastewater generated must be appropriately treated and managed to prevent it ...

Report Predicts Explosion of Off-Grid, Zero-Emission Green Energy Desalination
Innovations such as green power generation and increased desalination efficiency expected to reduce cost impediments A new report by IDTechEx, “Desalination: Off Grid Zero Emission 2018-2028,” predicts exponential growth of off-grid, zero-emission desalination in the next decade. The report suggests the market will reach $35 billion by 2028, up from very little in 2018, with ...

Our drinking water systems are a disaster. What can we do?
In the wake of the Flint, communities turn to innovative technology and financing to prevent the next crisis. People in developed countries turn on the tap and safe drinking water flows, a dramatic health benefit they tend to take for granted. That complacency was dramatically disrupted last year when children in Flint, Michigan, started testing positive for lead poisoning and the source was ...
