1) Sustainability Problem: Toxins in Water
Technology has create electronic waste in waters. It creates toxic environments and destroys natural habitats and processes.
2) Technology: A water filter to remove electronic waste
article: http://www.worldwaterweek.org/american-student-wins-2015-stockholm-junior-water-prize-for-revolutionizing-method-to-remove-electronic-waste-from-water/
- Created by American student, Perry Alagappan, who won the 2015 Stockholm Junior Water Prize for this revolutionizing method to remove toxic waste from water
- Uses nanotechnology to create a first-of-its-kind filter
- Removes 99% of heavy metal contaminants from drinking and industrial wastewater
- The solution is scalable from household to industrial use
3) Stakeholders:
- Perry Alapaggan
- Technology manufacturers/providers
- Areas with toxic water problems
- Water management facilities
4) Implementation
- Scale the project and define the first target location/group
- Determine costs for the target location
- Fund raise for the costs of the target location
- Prove whether or not the technology works and is beneficial when applied to target location
