The Guelph Water Filtration system is a low-tech, low-cost, easy-to-maintain, and robust solution for providing safe drinking water. It outperforms previous technologies, lasting up to 6 years and delivering over 1 liter per hour for low turbidity water. The replaceable ceramic filter components can be produced locally, offering employment opportunities. The system's design reduces clogging, doubles filtration area, and requires less frequent refilling.

Electrochemical treatment using aluminum electrodes effectively removes aromatic pollutants from petroleum-contaminated water. Optimized conditions were determined using full factorial design and surface response analysis. This method successfully reduced contaminants to undetectable levels in real water samples, making it a promising solution for remediating contaminated groundwater and surface water.
