Nanotechnology and Water Webinar Registration Open - Increasing Water Availability Event: Water Sustainability through Nanotechnology: Increasing Water Availability When: Wednesday 7 December 2016, 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM Time Zone: (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US and Canada) To register now, please visit the following link: https://nnco.adobeconnect.com/e7wcb5svfw9/event/registration.html Water demand in the United States is projected to increase over the next several decades, possibly rising by as much as 34% between 2005 and 2060. In addition to this increased demand, many of the Nation’s aquifers are being depleted at unsustainable rates, which may lead to increased challenges in locating usable water sources in the future.  In this webinar, panelists Qilin Li (Rice University), Isabel Escobar (University of Kentucky), and David Mazyck (University of Florida) will describe current technologies and future opportunities related to water treatment and purification. The speakers will address filtration and membrane separation systems, catalysis, and alternatives to reverse osmosis in technical detail.   More information about upcoming webinars, including other events in the  Water Sustainability through Nanotechnology  webinar series, is available at www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars.
