Research Problem
Water scarcity is a major issue plaguing developed and developing nations alike. Team NOSALT is researching a potential biological desalination system comprising of a prefiltration element and a microbial desalination cell (MDC). This system aims to preserve energy and cut costs of seawater desalination, making it accessible to those who are most vulnerable to water scarcity, specifically regions such as coastal Sub-Saharan Africa.
Research QuestionHow can we use biological methods to reduce the cost of desalination?
