Home water purification eliminates contaminants like microorganisms, chemicals, and dissolved solids through filtration, UV light, and reverse osmosis (RO). The most advanced systems are highly technologically equipped point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) devices, hence giving more efficiency in performance and ease in the process. The resid...

Water shortage caused by the intensification of the impacts of climate change, population growth, and accelerated urbanization require immediate action on development of technologies for effective management of water supply and consumption. In addition, aging water infrastructure leads to water loss and increase in non-revenue water. Smart water gr...

Middle East and African (MEA) countries are the most water-stressed. GCC and most MENA countries are significantly increasing their seawater desalination capacity to meet growing water demand and mitigate water stress. Sub-Saharan African countries face water stress due to rapid urbanization and inadequate water infrastructure. As part of SDG 2030 ...

Climate change and the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization have significantly increased water stress and affected the equitable availability of fresh water. This has led to the implementation of policies that favor water conservation and the embrace of solutions that enable the circular economy of water. Another aspect is the diversifi...
