This $649,989 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of a portable, membrane-free water purification and monitoring system by Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The overarching goal is to create a fit-for-purpose solution to address water insecurity in regions with limited infrastructure and frequent water quality issues due to climate change or natural disasters.
The two-phase project aims to first determine community needs and demonstrate the feasibility of an electrokinetic water purification technology that can scale output to meet demand, while also incorporating continuous water quality monitoring capabilities. Phase I will engage stakeholders, evaluate the landscape of water insecurity, and expedite technology development through computational and experimental work. The award does not include any subaward plans.
