LOw-cost innovative Technology for water quality monitoring and water resources management for Urban and rural water Systems in India

Project description

A new low-cost way to monitor water quality

More than 200 million cases of diseases related to poor water and sanitation conditions are reported annually. This makes water quality monitoring essential. The EU-funded LOTUS project is developing an innovative chemical sensor for water quality monitoring that uses carbon nanotubes to concurrently monitor multiple contaminants in real time. It is also suitable for multiple and diverse situations. This new technology will be tested in India. LOTUS will work with EU and Indian partners to design the software tools organised and combined in a cloud-based platform. The project will also draw up a business model to encourage market uptake of the LOTUS solution in India. A top priority is to ensure an advanced but low-cost product.
