Concerns

Link between Research and Designs

• We need more communication between research teams, design teams, and engineers constructing and running our plants.
• We need research goals that reflect our desire to continue improving AguaClara designs
• Should we require support of new designs with research before implementation?
• How can we better transfer/translate lab research into improved designs?

Mechanism and Timeline for expansion

• Is the number of plants built/designed per year too fast for our current design team/design program?
• Is there a proper balance of continuing to build plants while keeping designs accurate?
