WATER SUPPLY AND PURIFICATION

Bioinspired materials for water supply and management: water collection, water purification and separation of water from oil.

Access to a safe supply of water is a human right. However, with growing populations, global warming and contamination due to human activity, it is one that is increasingly under threat. It is hoped that nature can inspire the creation of materials to aid in the supply and management of water, from water collection and purification to water source clean-up and rehabilitation from oil contaminat...

Water Supply and Health

Arguments over the relative importance of increasing consumption ('quantity') versus improving water safety ('quality') have been taking place since at least the beginning of the first United Nations water decade (the 1980s). For those living distant from a water source, using only around 3‐4 litres per person per day, and often suffering from hygiene related disease, the logical priority is to...
