Technologies at different levels of maturity covering critical aspects of water technologies. Focusing on the 6.1, 6.3 and 6.4 targets of the SDG6 as defined by the United Nations (universal and equitable access to safe drinking water for all; improve water quality by halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally; ensure sustainable supply of freshwater to address water scarcity), the multidisciplinary team of IIT will develop novel water technologies and assemblies, based on functional materials able to efficiently recover freshwater from unconventional sources such as wastewater and seawater, but also able to indicate the state of the water by monitoring the presence of pollutants through advanced diagnostics, portable sensors and indicators.
