Please review the challenges below and fill out the Team Organization Survey.
Our challenges for the Summer of 2012 are designed to make it easier for new communities to adopt the AguaClara technologies. Our goals are to reduce costs, improve fabrications techniques, extend our designs to lower flow rates, improve our documentation, and create an AguaClara business to facilitate spread of the technologies.
...
We are exploring options for developing an AguaClara business to separate the implementation side from the R&D effort. Of course, the goal is to keep communication between implementation and R&D so that we can continue to improve the technologies based on feedback from the field.
