August 10-13: IWA North American Membrane Research Conference, Amherst, MA
The scarcity of clean water represents a global threat to society, equal to or greater than that of oil resources. A range of factors are responsible for this shortage, including population growth in arid regions, and contamination of surface and groundwater supplies. Membrane technologies can be used to provide both short and long term solutions to these problems by providing clean water from low quality sources. Click here for more information.
