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.
