Tripura-Scientists

Tripura scientists are rolling out an indigenous water purification system at BSF outposts to ensure safe drinking water for troops. The initiative promises to enhance living conditions by using cost effective and eco-friendly methods. A number of Border Security Force (BSF) outposts which are located in remote areas along the India-Bangladesh border have long struggled with severe drinking water shortages due to the difficult terrain and lack of accessible water sources.The problem worsens during the monsoon season when heavy rains render the already rugged roads impassable, cutting off vital water…

Water desalination plants could replace expensive chemicals with new carbon cloth electrodes that remove boron from seawater, an important step of turning seawater into drinking water. A study describing the new technology has been published in Nature Water by engineers at the University of Michigan and Rice University. Boron is a natural component of seawater that becomes a toxic contaminant in drinking water when it sneaks through conventional filters for removing salts. Seawater’s boron levels are around twice as high as the World Health Organization’s most lenient limits for safe…
