Why water safety?

Access to safe water is among the many crises we face as a growing population. The inspiration for our project is rooted in our recognition of one of the most publicised water safety disasters today: The Flint Water Crisis. Flint xxxxxxx Looking into this event, we realised there were many different types of contaminants in water, each of which require different approaches to their removal. We decided to look into how to remove one of each in three main sub-categories of contaminants: Biological, Organic and Inorganic.

Three very different problems: Lead, Legionella and Oestrogen.

This is where two of our project ideas were born. Lead and Legionella are two of the famed contaminants of water in flint. Our third topic is Oestrogen which struck a little closer to home; we found it was a massive issue specifically in the UK. XXXX Our projects are ambitious and attempt to solve a wide range of problems that aren’t connected to each other by a unified solution, and that’s not what we are trying to come up with. Each of these areas we have invested in were chosen based on the resources we had as a university in terms of expertise, equipment and experience.
