Presentation Title Will Low-cost Ceramic Water Filters Really Work?
Author(s) Ian Nettleship
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Ian Nettleship
Abstract Scope Waterborne diarrheal diseases continue to kill over 500,000 children under five every year. Simple and effective low-cost ceramic water filters have been specifically designed to be made in marginalized communities from locally sourced materials. Unfortunately, after more than two decades this technology has not scaled to the magnitude of the need. This presentation will suggest how the ceramics community could help.
