Development of a robust technology for safe water supply by in-situ disinfectant production with a (bio)electrochemical system coupled to constructed wetlands. Case study on Ecuador, rural areas

Shortage on water provision, poor/inexistent water sanitation, and the resulting waterborne diseases is a latent problem in rural areas in Ecuador. The present proposal aims to develop a decentralized water technology that fulfill the needs of water sanitation, and by complementary application of in-situ produced disinfectant, partially provide safe water. The project will be aligned with local entities for integral management.
