Social Awareness, Newer Alternatives (SANA)
Project: Throughout India, villages lack access to clean drinking water and toilets. This spreads deadly diseases and causes unsafe living environments.With a Global Impact Award, SANA will combine solar-powered micro-ionizing water purification and biodigesting technology to improve water and sanitation infrastructure for rural villages. These systems will purify local water sources to provide clean drinking water and the waste water generated will power new community toilets. Over three years, SANA will provide 54 million liters of safe drinking water to residents, providing biodigesting toilets to 10 villages across India, and improved health conditions for 25,000 people annually.

Women carrying water
The Global Water Footprint of Humanity is a self-initiated project based on research carried out by the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education and the University of Twente in the Netherlands. It aims to visualize and make tangible the impact of human consumption on the natural water environment through a 900 pages book, a flash animation, maps and models. The water footprint concept is a practical tool to analyze how much water is used for producing our goods and services, showing how countries can externalize their water footprint in order to reduce the pressure on the domestic water resources, and how other countries can profit from their relative abundance of water by exporting water rich commodities. The project was awarded Honorable Mention for outstanding work at the INDEX:|AIGA Aspen Design Challenge Designing Water’s Future. The data have been drawn from: Water footprints of nations (Chapagain, A.K. and Hoekstra, A.Y. 2004), Globalization of water: Sharing the planet’s freshwater resources (Hoekstra, A.Y. and Chapagain, A.K. 2008), www.waterfootprint.org.

Learn about urban water services, focusing on basic drinking water and wastewater treatment technologies
There is a global trend towards urbanisation with over 50% of humanity currently residing in urban areas. Water is invariably linked to urban functionality, as industrial, domestic and agricultural use. Essential services such as drinking water supply, sanitation and wastewater treatment to protect surface water and groundwater resources need to be present in such environment. The provision of these essential urban water services present real challenges in many parts of the world today.
