Stacked Rapid Sand Filtration Theory

The main goal of our team is to raise awareness on the importance of wastewater treatment in Honduras and ensure that AguaClara drinking water treatments are properly removing diarrheal pathogens. Richardson Lab at Cornell University has been working on this topic in depth using membrane filter and openArray DNA analysis technology. Under Professor Richardson's supervision, we are going to develop a viable method to sample and preserve pathogens in the field so that the sample pathogens can be shipped to the lab to be analyzed.
Fall 2017

This semester, the Water Quality Monitoring for Diarrheal Pathogens started. The goal is to find the most efficient way to test the raw source water and treated water of AguaClara plants in Honduras for Diarrheal Pathogens and other bacterias. This ideal process is going to be tested by varying turbidity, pump speed, pore size of filter membrane, and location of the in-line/parallel filters. Richardson Lab has been working on this topic. Collaborating with the lab, we are going to train a AguaClara member with the developed protocols on sample filtration and send the member to the AguaClara January trip to Honduras.
