AguaClara partners with a local organization, Agua Para el Pueblo (APP); this organization aids in site selection, construction and organization in Honduras. It is these local connections and knowledge sharing that makes our technology socially sustainable. Currently, APP is working to select the next town to receive an AguaClara water treatment plant.
The research done at CornellUniversity Cornell University on water treatment processes, especially on flocculation, is the foundation for the design of the plants we have built. Our water treatment plants are designed to be clever, simple and affordable. Our plants are gravity powered and made completely out of local materials. The design algorithms are structured to be scalable and replicable. These two factors combined with very simple designs make our plants physically sustainable.
