#Public-Private Partnership to Create Long-term Water supply The Los angeles County Business Federation has endorsed a water project that will capture

The alliance of more than 135 local business groups voted at its May 19 board meeting to support the Cadiz Valley Water conservation, Recovery and Storage Project, a public-private partnership with the Santa Margarita Water District,
which will create a 50-year water supply for Southern California. The Cadiz Water project moves forward as the state enters its fourth year of a historic drought.
Located on the renewable resources company 35 000-acre property in California eastern Mojave desert, the Cadiz Water project will be carried out by public water providers that serve more than 1 million customers in six Southern California counties.

#Steam Machine Turns Poop into Clean drinking water Bill gates wants to turn your poop into clean drinking water, and he's got just the machine to do it.
"a steam-powered sewage processor that burns up solid waste and creates both potable water and electricity.
Gates believes the machine can help solve one of the developing world's biggest problems access to clean water.
All of this improperly processed waste contaminates the drinking water of millions of people in communities around the globe.
Western-style sewer lines and sewage treatment plantsare not feasible options in most poor countries according to Gates.
But, a sewage treatment machine like the Omniprocessor may work in such places, he said. Measuring about 75 feet (23 meters) long and 26 feet (8 m) across, this small processing plant can handle about 14 tons of waste every day.
That means it's large enough to continually process sewage from a community of about 100,000 people, according to the Gates Foundation.
The machine is loaded up with sewer sludge, which travels up a conveyor belt and is fed into large tubes known as dryers.
The processor wouldn just keep human waste out of the drinking water; it would turn waste into a commodity with real value in the marketplace.

#Water purification: Running fuel cells on bacteria Researchers in Norway have succeeded in getting bacteria to power a fuel cell.

This is an environmentally-friendly process for the purification of water derived from industrial processes and suchlike. It also generates small amounts of electricity--in practice enough to drive a small fan, a sensor or a light-emitting diode.
In the future, the researchers hope to scale up this energy generation to enable the same energy to be used to power the water purification process

which claimed to remove endocrine disruptor from wastewater. Researchers claimed that the tiny man-made catalysts can purify drinking water

and oxygen can remove ethynylestradiol (EE2), a contraceptive pill hormone from wastewater. Around 1, 360 sewage plants in the UK are likely to fail the European union proposed standards for EE2
according to government estimates. Upgrades for the facilities with ozone or carbon-activated treatment technology will not only involve tens of billions of Euros,
but will also leave behind massive carbon footprints. TAML activators can thus be a cost-effective solution,
since just a kilogram of catalyst can be used to treat tens of thousands of tons of wastewater.
which opens the door to large-scale improvements in wastewater treatment which could be achieved by retro-fitting TAML treatment rather than building expensive high-energy plants."
