http://snresarvajal.blogspot.com/
Early this year, six SNRE Masterí¢â‚¬â„¢s students formed a team to conduce a Masterí¢â‚¬â„¢s Project entitled Creative Solutions for Addressing Wastewater in India. The client is Piramal Water Private Limited, a social enterprise start-up that develops drinking water solutions for rural and urban populations in India where water quality causes more than 60% of common health ailments. They are in country now doing research - read their blog!
Motivated by Piramal Waterí¢â‚¬â„¢s desire to improve the positive impact of their organization, this Masterí¢â‚¬â„¢s Project team will research, develop, pilot-test and analyze creative and culturally relevant solutions for making use of waste-water produced as a by-product of reverse osmosis. Students will be tasked with generating creative solutions for optimal water use and wastewater reclamation associated with Piramal Waterí¢â‚¬â„¢s franchises. Solutions must be scalable to multiple franchise locations with the hope that technologies or processes found to be effective can also be implemented in other developing regions with similar water shortage issues.
