The AguaClara growth model is based on establishing partnerships with organizations that have expertise in the water supply sector and who have a strong structural engineering capacity. These partners take the responsibility for creating the structural engineering design for the AguaClara water treatment plants, for choosing the communities that meet the community prerequisites for appropriate sites, for training the plant operators, and for working with the communities.
We anticipate a very high demand for robust, energy efficient, water treatment technologies given the combination of a large unmet demand for safe drinking water, the increased demand due to population growth and urbanization, and the need to replacing aging infrastructure. The AguaClara team is committed to open source engineering as one tool to help disseminate the technology.
