Drinking water for health emergencies
Published on by OLIVE Gino, Volunteer researcher - Physical sciences teacher
I am a high school sciences teacher for twenty years. I work for 10 years on desalination (see ResearchGate).
I need the help of my network because I have the device that will provide drinking water during humanitarian crises in disadvantaged areas. Its realization will take me all summer and will ask me for financial means.

Already 28 donors in 7 days! family, friends, colleagues,online social networks:2/3000; those who know me have confidence that the amount collected will be used for local, measuring devices and custom plastic shells.2 Comments

Thanks to the support of donors,I had the opportunity to develop, this summer, all alone, the device that will compete at the OHD Challenge. I am exhausted but happy to see this new process materialize.

Why are so few people in my scientific and professional network (ResearchGate, Linkedin, WaterReasearchNetwork ..) sensitive to my personal commitment to the Oman Humanitarian Desalination Challenge despite the thousands of reading of my open access articles on ResearchGate?

Dear Sir, I am from India. I left my job as a Marketing Engineer to address the water crisis faced by schools in rural areas. I designed machines with my own money and saw few schools happy with my product. i thought of expanding my vision to many schools and primary health centers ; neither banks or private donors came forward. Simply because it is not revenue yielding and involves lot of voluntary work. Again water is a research oriented job since no two waters are the same. I totally agree that not many engineers and scientists wish to venture into social engineering. It is almost 20 years now, my passion for water has helped me rope in local finance team on project funding and profit sharing basis. I am now concentrating in waste water recycling using chemicals for purification of etp water from automobile service stations.
