Researchers Have Pioneered A Technique To Purify Water By Using The Power Of Sunlight – Australia Scientists in Australia have been able to transform brackish water and seawater into safe, clean drinking water in less than 30 minutes using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and sunlight. In a discovery that could provide potable water for millions of people across the world, researchers were not only able to filter harmful particles from water and generate 139.5L of clean water per kilogram of MOF per day, but also perform this task in a more energy-efficient manner than current desalination practices. Metal-organic frameworks are a class of compounds consisting of [âŠ] Researchers Have Pioneered A Technique To Purify Water By Using The Power Of Sunlight – AustraliaHIWI042020-09-29T15:48:32+02:00

Pakistan: Sindh Chief Minister inaugurates Rs 427.6 M desalination plant at Manora beach – Pakistan After a failed attempt around 12 years back to make seawater fit for consumption by the residents of its posh neighbourhood, Karachi is making another attempt to desalinate the water of Arabian Sea but this time the beneficiaries will be low-income families of the city if the project becomes successful. This time the Sindh Government has been building a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant near the Manora beach to desalinate the seawater to be consumed by the deprived residents of Manora that is a small peninsula connected to the mainland Karachi through a road [âŠ] Pakistan: Sindh Chief Minister inaugurates Rs 427.6 M desalination plant at Manora beach – PakistanHIWI042020-09-27T15:38:35+02:00
E coli count along Mumbaiâs coastline on the mend but still above permissible limits – Mumbai – India Bacteria count along Mumbaiâs coastline is decreasing gradually but remains way above the permissible limits. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporationâs recent Environment Status Report (ESR), 2019-20, states that E coli (or Escherichia coli), which can cause anything from dysentery to meningitis if ingested, continues to have a high count along the cityâs coastline. While a safe E coli count is 100 colony forming units (CFU) per 100 millilitres (ml) of water, in Bandra the bacteria has been recorded at 500 CFU â the highest in the city.

BMC revives desalination plant plan to meet Mumbaiâs water needs – India The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to revive its plan to set up a desalination plant to turn seawater into potable water through reverse osmosis, in an effort to tackle the water crisis plaguing Mumbai due to uneven rainfall. BMC is in talks with an Israel-based company and, as per preliminary reports, the civic body is considering an area near the sea in Malad for the plant. The plant will have a capacity of 200 million litres daily (MLD), requiring about 25 acres. BMC revives desalination plant plan to meet Mumbaiâs water needs – IndiaHIWI042020-09-25T10:13:39+02:00
‘Be prepared’: With water scarcer, Egypt pushes farmers to use much less – Egypt Hassan Abdel Salam knew he was wasting a lot of water every time he flooded his fields to irrigate his mango crop, but wasnât aware of any alternative.

Now pipes with small holes snake around his 10-feddan (10-acre) farm, dripping water directly to the base of each plant.
