- This significant publication demonstrates that low-cost and decentralised water-treatment technologies play a critical role when improving the drinking-water quality and access to the poorest communities. This multi-disciplinary and international collaboration with the team of Professor Sabogal-Paz at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil (number one university of Lain America in research), under the GCRF-UKRI– SAFEWATER has demonstrated that it is possible to significantly improve the access to safe water for people who live in rural areas in developing countries using household slow-sand filters. The publication describes sustainable water engineering expertise and low-cost building materials.
