많은 물 처리 상품들은 상수도가 오염된 지역의 가정에서 물 처리 할 수 있게 설계됐다. 상품은 안전한 식수에 접근이 어려운 20억 명에게 제공됐지만 상품을 필요로 하는 다른 사람들한테 제공 범위 확대가 불가능했다.

노스캐롤라이나 대학의 물 기구인 Ryan Rowe는 NSF의 국제 식수 처리부인 Nikki Beetsch와 환경 공학 전문가가 참석한 온라인 회의를 개최했다. 전문가들은 최근 분야의 발전을 공유하고 연구했다. 또한, 그들은 상품과 서비스 개발에 대한 그들의 경험을 강조하고 품질 문제와 운용 규모에 주목했다. 또한 연구, 기술, 지원 체계의 격차를 다뤘다.

Many water treatment products have failed. These devices have been designed to treat water in the household in areas where the water supply is contaminated. They serve the 2 billion people who lack access to safe water, but they have not been able to scale up reach the people who need them.

Ryan Rowe, at the Water Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill moderates this webinar, presented by Nikki Beetsch, in NSF International's Drinking Water Treatment Division and Daniele Lantagne, a civil & environmental engineering professor at Tufts University. These experts explore the issue by: Sharing recent advances in the field

Highlighting their experiences in developing these products and services, with a focus on the challenges of quality, operation and scaling

Addressing gaps in research, technology and supporting frameworks, such as the recent International Scheme to Evaluate Household Water Treatment
