Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network
As climate change amplifies its impact, the water demand is experiencing continual growth, placing water systems worldwide under severe pressure.
This issue is being addressed through an initiative spearheaded by the World Economic Forum's UpLink, known as the Water Resilience Challenge.
This challenge receives financial support of CHF 1.75 million from HCL Group.
The initiative seeks innovative technology-driven solutions to enhance adaptability, drive efficiency and support the long-term sustainability of water infrastructure across sectors like infrastructure, agri-food, technology and energy.

Greetings from Western New York, USA. We are faculty and community members of and around the Ceramic College at Alfred University, Alfred.edu. We have developed and are further optimizing, proven technology of packed particle bed – PPB water filtration. We are not seeking loans but would be happy to partner with any UK business that would like to implement our technologies.
Large-scale water filters of packed particle beds - PPBs could be transformative in widespread impact, treating microbial contaminated water. In municipal utility water treatment, PPB filter media will substitute for slow sand treatment, with little or no subsequent need for UV or RO disinfection.
In low-income communities, large-scale PPB systems will be a short walk from homes. The systems may be at the collection point of well water. In middle- and upper-income locations, PPB treated water will be piped into homes, for example, from a water tower or a tank on top of a building, adjacent to these.
The PPB systems use two similar materials, one granulated ceramics and the other glass microbeads, developed by Prof. William LaCourse. Both are being optimized at the incomparable Ceramic College of Alfred University, alfred.edu.
PPB systems could arguably get safe drinking water to more of those in need than is otherwise possible. The filter media is treated with a small amount of silver. When treated with copper the PPB media will purify downstream water, other than drinking water. Should you know of prospective partners, please let me know.
