Dear ,
|
May 2015 |
R&D resources are beginning to transition to the world's needs for sustainable & scalable ways of surviving, like clean water according to Thomson Reuters' new report. I am encouraged by this trend and optimistic that results in the field will soon follow.
For our part, we have been investing heavily to bring AI tools to The Water Network to help solve complex water challenges. I would be delighted to give those of you attending ACE15 in LA this June a sneak peek of what is coming! Please visit us at booth 450.
Heartfelt thanks for your support of Trunz Water Systems, they have received funds to provide 7 new mobile and 3 fixed "Survivor" water treatment units to Nepal that will provide up to 4000 people with safe drinking water daily.
Kind regards,
Trudi Schifter
Founder and CEO, AquaSPE AG
