His company's solution is to incorporate super-hydrophilic (i.e. water-loving) nanoparticles into a reverse osmosis membrane.
Shoreline: intersection of a specific water height with the shore or beach, e.g. the high water shoreline is the intersection of the high water mark with the shore or beach.
Teens design pedal-powered filtration system: High-schoolers Payton Karr and Kiona Elliot , from Oakland Park, Florida , led a team of inventors who designed a collapsible, transportable, bicycle-powered emergency water-sanitation station that filters E. coli and other harmful pathogens from contaminated water.
Drinking E. coli-contaminated water can lead to serious illness and death.
There are lots of small initiatives, either at the user end -- e.g. turning off stand-by switches, drinking tap water -- or the supply end -- e.g. wind energy, tidal energy.
For the spy with a yen to be green, the house has low utility bills courtesy of a passive solar design, low-E windows and solar-generated water heater.
This is an area which lacks basic facilities e.g. toilets, clean water, drainage and sewerage system and other social problems.

Within the 24-year period, 67% of the years show negative net annual specific balances, with a cumulative mass balance loss of - 10.50 m water equivalent (w.e.).
It requires engagement with local communities, protecting them from the negative impacts of logging (i.e. roads and bridges damaged, water polluted, etc.) and encouraging active hiring of local service providers, local technicians, and local labor.
He says only General Electric would be large enough to swallow American Water Works whole, but companies like GE, ITT Industries and 3M have not shown previous interest in water utility assets, preferring to stick to water industrial assets--e.g. filtration, desalination and instrumentation markets.
If a polluted water sample contains a strain of E. coli that is not found in humans, you can be pretty sure that sewage is not the source of the pollution.
In "The Man Machine, " he gained access to robotics laboratories and staged a series candid portraits featuring the latest in artificial intelligence going about "their daily lives, " such as responding to e-mails or taking a trip to the water cooler.

Fracking involves the injection of water containing a surfactant and various other chemicals under high pressure into a source rock e.g. shale, causing the latter to fracture and release natural gas (principally methane).
With millions of "computers" able to fit in a drop of water, scaling won't be an issue once they figure things out, but for now E. coli can only figure out how to sort two pancakes.
