In this section, you will find resources for water treatment technologies including both plant structure and chemical regulation components. The main challenge AguaClara faces is the development of a design for water treatment plant using only flocculation and sedimentation (see section in 'Research Needs' on Rapid Sand Filtration for disadvantages). The treatment train should reliably achieve a turbidity of less than 1 NTU, while the influent waters in Honduras often have turbidity values of up to 500 NTU. Also take a look at the section for Honduran culture and language, where you will find Spanish lessons and links to Honduran news online in both English and Spanish.
Check up on our plant design, the theory behind it, or brush up on your basic Spanish!
