Strengthening Disaster Risk Management in Developing Countries

Data scarcity, high vulnerability to natural hazards, limited fiscal space, fragile governance mechanisms. These are some of the challenges low and middle-income countries face in preparing for and responding to disasters. In the coming years, disasters caused by climate impacts, geophysical hazards and health emergencies will continue to disproportionately impacts these countries—leading to losses in development gains and regional spillover effects. Cost effective DRM solutions are critical.

Turning the Tide of Water Scarcity: Tackling Polluted Water & the Resulting Secondary Waste

We will delve into the issue of water pollution and its impact on our water supply. Discover sources of pollutants such as PFAS and explore approaches being used for clean up. We will examine secondary waste generated by filters and other cleaning processes and the challenges in managing this waste. Additionally, we will overview an approach utilizing 2 high-temperature technologies to clean up the water and then remediate and upcycle the secondary waste accelerating the full circle of water purification.

Treatment Systems for Agricultural Irrigation and Drainage Water

Agriculture is the largest user of water in California. This sector must find a way to recycle the drainage water leaving the growing areas. There are many challenges to recycling: a) strict discharge regulations, b) drainage water flow is highly variable, c) complex mix of dissolved ions, d) salt accumulation in groundwater and recycle loops. This presentation will talk about our approach to solving these problems by leveraging biological solutions and adapting existing solutions to fit farmers unique needs
