Projects in Water and Wastewater Technology
Research project
Swiss Knowledge Hub in Liberia (CHub@UMU)
In this partnership, teaching content is developed and delivered together with our partner university “United Methodist University of Liberia” (UMU). The created capacity is applied in water and sanitation projects of our local partner NGOs.
Research project
NEWAL Network for Water and Life
NEWAL is a network of education and research partners in West Africa (Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, etc.) and ten university partners in Switzerland.
Research project
The Water Flow Diagram (WFD)
The water flow diagram is open-source tool for visualising urban water systems and accelerating more inclusive and integrated urban water management.nts.
Research project
SaniChoice
SaniChoice is an open source web tool that enables informed sanitation technology and system choices as inputs in strategic planning.
Research project
Open-design NoMix toilets
Together with EOOS NEXT, a social entreprise based in Vienna, we co-create appropriate front-end and backend solutions for off-grid (non-sewered) circular sanitation with a focus on low-resource area and urine recovery for fertilizer production.
Research project
Solarpowered Water Treatment (SoPoWaT)
We combine solar energy with innovative water treatment technologies to enable communities or institutions to purify water on-site. This includes the design of suitable PV systems in conjunction with water treatment methods such as Gravity Driven Membranes (GDM) or solar water disinfection (SoWaDis).
Research project
Global South Cooperation in the OST study programme
We integrate GSC in the study programme through different formats. Current opportunities include project work and an interdisciplinary one-week course. External partners are invited to provide their challenges to the students to develop applied and practice relevant solutions.
