About

This webinar brings together expert presenters who are working directly with communities facing water shortages, contamination, saltwater intrusion, land subsidence, and unreliable infrastructure. Our presenters will share practical insights from distributing water filters and installing solar desalination units in challenging environments, explaining how these systems can strengthen water security in a changing climate.

Participants will hear how new technologies are improving potable water quality, treatment costs, and solar efficiency. Presenters will walk through real-world examples from remote and off-grid locations, highlighting what works, what does not, and the lessons learned from implementing these systems on the ground.

The webinar also outlines funding pathways and offers clear guidance for participants and community groups looking to get involved. Designed for engineers, planners, researchers, policymakers, and local leaders, this webinar showcases promising approaches that can help meet growing demand for fresh water.
