Natural Disaster: Prevention of Drinking Water Scarcity

  • Conference paper
Threats to Global Water Security

The paper deals with a novel technical approach to alternative drinking water supplies for inhabitants of the Aral Sea Region. The water treatment technique based on using special ion-exchange fibrous sorbents with immobilized silver nanoparticles is described. The newly developed sorbents are currently used in water treatment filters for removing heavy metal ions and organic contaminants from drinking water in the Aral Sea Region.
