Water supply

Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite with exceptional adsorption capacity. Integrated into an appropriate technical set-up it has been tested with raw-water mimicking the situation in emergencies where the requirement of safe drinking water has been critical for the public health. These results have

In sub-Saharan Africa 85% of those without access to safe water live in rural areas where the consequent poverty and ill health disproportionately affect women and children. The widespread development of groundwater is the most affordable and sustainable way of improving access to secure water for t

This paper examines some of the challenges related to international development, delivery of the UN Millennium Development Goals and the provision of effective infrastructure, in particular with respect to safe water supplies and sanitation.

The earthquake of 8 October, 2005, severely affected the existing drinking water-supply and sanitation systems in five districts of Pakistan. Wells and springs reported significant reduction in yield with water sources buried under land slides along with considerable damage of sewerage networks, dra

The largest environmental challenge that Jordan faces today is the scarcity of water. Current water use already exceeds renewable supply. Many methods have been suggested to increase the sources of water supply; one alternative source is rainwater harvesting. Rainfall harvesting from rural/urban cat

A project is under development at Padre Island and Mustang Island, Corpus Christi, Texas, combining desalination of brackish groundwater with ASR storage of treated drinking water, both utilizing brackish, confined sand aquifers and clay confining layers at depths of less than 250 m. The combination

One square kilometer of atmospheric air contains, in most regions around the globe, 10,000 to 30,000 m3 of pure water. The extraction of water from air (EWA) patented technology, based on the extraction of air humidity into water stream, was developed for large-scale water supply, up to 1,000 m3/d.
