Water & sanitation technology for developing countries Research aim To develop and implement appropriate and sustainable technolo- gies for providing safe drinking water and adequate sanitation in the developing regions. ’Safe, affordable and sustainable water supply and sanitation for all as our final goal’ Despite the significant push forward in this area in the past years under the impulse of the Millen- nium Development Goals, there are still over 700 million people worldwide relying on unsafe drink- ing water sources and nearly 2.5 billion people do not use an improved sanitation facility. Water will therefore remain high on the agenda in the next decades. Innovation through research and innova- tion uptake through education are at the core of CES&T’s activities in this domain.

Water & sanitation technology fordeveloping countries

Research aim

To develop and implement appropriate and sustainable technolo-gies for providing safe drinking water and adequate sanitation in thedeveloping regions.

’Safe, affordable andsustainable water supplyand sanitation for all asour final goal’

Despite the significant push forward in this areain the past years under the impulse of the Millen-nium Development Goals, there are still over 700million people worldwide relying on unsafe drink-ing water sources and nearly 2.5 billion people donot use an improved sanitation facility. Water willtherefore remain high on the agenda in the nextdecades. Innovation through research and innova-tion uptake through education are at the core ofCES&T’s activities in this domain.

Research highlights

Areas of expertise

I Our multidisciplinary team of researchers shares expertise on biological andphysicochemical water and wastewater treatment, waterless sanitation, resourcerecovery, ecotechnologies, modelling and simulation, and benchmarking of dif-ferent technologies.

Sample projects

I Development of novel solar-driven drinking water treatment systems (partnercountry: South-Africa)Aims both at simple, as well as more advanced, methods of purifying pollutedstreams for potable water purposes. This includes among others the waterpyramid producing potable water via evaporation, and solar-driven membranesystems.

I Optimisation of ecotechologies for wastewater treatment (partner countries:Vietnam, Ecuador, Kenya, Ethiopia)Aims at making constructed wetlands and waste stabilization ponds more effi-cient, more compact and more reliable. We work with model-based approacheslike CFD and ASM-based models as well as with pilot experiments on aeration,alternative filling materials...

I Impact and abatement of arsenic pollution in drinking water and paddy fields(partner country: Bangladesh, India, Bolivia)Aims at assessing the distribution and environmental and human health impactof arsenic pollution. We also test and develop technologies to remove arsenicfrom groundwater (e.g. iron-based filter materials).
