International
Partnership for Coastal Water Resources
Project:
Clean Water by Riverbank Filtration
India
is experiencing tremendous economic
growth while concomitantly the pressure
on the country's limited water resources
is building. The sustainability and
extent of India's growth is therefore
closely linked to and possibly limited
by access to secure and reliable water
resources. With funding from the World
Bank - Developing Marketplace Programme,
members of IPCWR (Drs. Boving, Choudri,
and Blandford) are currently demonstrating
how a sustainable water treatment
and supply approach based on Riverbank
Filtration (RBF) technology can address
water quality problems in a rural
part of northern Karnataka (India).
The Final Project Report provides a overview
and links to data and GIS information
collected for the purpose of this
project.
The video below provides an overview of our recently completed Riverbank Filtration project in rural Karnataka, India. The overall lenght of the video is 25 min and it was split up in two parts.
