To demystify the water technology landscape and elevate the most scalable solutions in this space, UpLink recently ran the Zero Water Waste Challenge, from which the top 10 water-focused entrepreneurs or 'Aquapreneurs' from a pool of 192 applicants representing 40 different countries have now been announced.
Water scarcity occurs when water demand outstrips available supply during a specific period – when water infrastructure is inadequate or institutions fail to balance people’s needs. In 2022, 2.2 billion people lacked safely managed drinking water , including more than 700 million people living without a basic water service, according to the ...
In Kota, Rajasthan, three government schools have already installed solar power plants providing a total of 4.5 kilowatts of power, as well as water purification systems that provide 250 litres of clean water per day. This initiative is the result of a partnership between NGO Samarpann and logistics and supply chain company Delhivery. It shows ...
Ho Hub improved access to clean and safe water using locally-designed technology and civic education. The Ho community was educated on drinking water solutions, basic sanitation measures and provided a sustainable water source using a borehole.The Water Purification Project (WPP) improves access to sustainable clean and safe water by using locally-designed technology and civic education. WPP ...
The cry for water innovation has been answered by a growing number of founders, and new funders are emerging in the space as a result. While this is encouraging, financial investment in the water sector still lags far behind other sectors, such as energy. Clean energy investment was expected to top $1.4 trillion in 2022. Climate tech venture ...
New developments may be in the works, but electrodialysis, as a water-purification technology, has been around for decades. There are actually electrodialysis plants around the world, according to Desalination: Trends and Technologies , a 2011 book edited by Michael Schorr, on desalination.
Led by 2018 Stockholm Water Prize winner Bruce Rittmann, the team uses a specially modified membrane known as MCfR that causes a reaction in water, to attack the chemical composition of PFAS particles it contains. The water is then treated by microorganisms in a special reactor (MBfR) to break down the remaining pollutant particles, which ...
To meet Sustainable Development Goal 6, Clean water and sanitation for all, the current rate of progress must quadruple. Otherwise, 1.6 billion will still be without safe water in 2030. Water treatment technologies are abundant and may be faster and more practical in many places than piped, chlorinated water.
The water sector does essential work for communities. However, it is energy intensive. Water and wastewater infrastructure is a significant greenhouse gas (GHG) contributor – making up approximately 2% of global GHG emissions, on par with the shipping industry. This means water is contributing to a warming world.
Water operators have long been stewards of an essential resource and water infrastructure is a cornerstone of every prosperous economy. At the same time, today’s water systems are major sources of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: global water utilities emit the same volume of GHGs as the world’s shipping industry.
