Revision history [back]

Hi,

I'm part of a group of UK engineering students who is travelling with the Royal Academy of Engineering to the Global Grand Challenges Summit in Beijing this September.

As part of the summit teams of students from the UK, US and China will design and present a new engineering solution to one of the global grand challenges in engineering. My group has chosen 'Providing Access to Clean Water' as our challenge, and we aim to engineer a new solution, either a product or a strategy, to improving access to clean water which we will then present as part of the student competition in Beijing.

At the moment we're hoping to talk to anyone who has experience in providing access to clean water in developing countries, particularly in rural communities.

We'd like to know anything that would help us decide what aspect to focus on, whether we should be aiming to filter/treat contaminated water, extract water from the ground/air, or whether we should be focusing on waste water treatment and improving sanitation.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated as it will ensure that our solution if focused on the area which requires the most attention.

Thanks!
