Simple and effective solar-powered desalination guarantees a thrivable future

Simple And Effective Solar-Powered Desalination

|

All forms of life require water, and simple and effective solar-powered desalination is the key. Water covers approximately 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, yet the accessible traditional freshwater resources, including lakes, ponds, and creeks account for less than 0.3% of the total (Li et al., 2021). Projections suggest the global population will reach […]

microbiological safety and water security are interrelated intricately.

Microbiological Safety And Water Security

|

Microbiological safety is incredibly important to ensure that diseases and harmful organisms are contained in a secure way. Basically, water is a chemical substance made up of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms, existing in solid (ice), liquid (water) and gas (water vapour) forms. However, biologically, it is one of the most important constituents of living

Water purification systems are a vital part of managing supply in a world facing greater water scarcity.

Water Purification Systems: How Effective are They?

|

Water purification is the removal of undesired chemical compounds from water. The process removes compounds of organic and inorganic materials, and biological contaminants. Today, water purification involves filtration, distillation and/or deionization to provide clean water suitable for domestic use and industry. Filtration Importantly, filtration is a process that removes particles from suspension in water. Removal

With increasing water scarcity around the world due to environmental changes and population growth, a new approach to sustainability for water consumption is urgently required.

Sustainability for water consumption: Are we prepared?

|

Sustainability for water is an issue of worldwide concern. Global warming and population growth are driving up demand. Yet, the problem is not that rainfall and water supplies are drying up, but that access to fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce. Today, more than 844 million people do not have reliable access to clean water.

Water Sustainability: Tips from Eco-friendly Hotels

|

Water sustainability is becoming increasingly important. Hotels use approximately 1,500 litres per room per day on average. That amount exceeds even those of populations in water-scarce locations. In addition, hospitality venues sometimes use more than eight times as much water as the surrounding population. Environmental damage and climate change are having serious consequences for the
