The recent trend in utilization of Nano technologies for water purification seems to be a sound approach and a scientific innovation. Many Developed and Developing countries are considering the potential of Nano-science to solve technical challenges associated with the removal of water contaminants and provide 'potable' water to the community. This clearly indicates that the Nanotechnology could increase the availability of clean water in the developing world.
I certainly believe that the future generations of water-treatment devices will capitalize on the new properties of nano-scale materials and it may prove to be of an immense interest to all of us working for Water resource Development and Management.
I would like to know about the present utility of such technologies in INDIA. Kindly convey me of the organizations (National and International) which are working on this concept and the different approaches/strategies adopted by them for the transfer of this technology to the community level.
