Dear Karen Delfau. Thank you for making a strong recommendation for incorporating traditional knowledge system into scientific research. In fact, I am doing the same in our schools in rural pockets in which our rural and indigenous community students are educated on traditional water purification technologies. I found that the seeds of Moringa oleifera and Strychnos potatorum are the best option to purify water and this traditional knowledge was taught to me by an Indigenous Tribe in the Western Ghats range of mountains in Tamilnadu,India. My organization is eager to document, develop and disseminate the traditional water purification technologies found our indigenous communities. If you are interested, I can share some of the technologies and the way i educate our children on this system. Thank you.
