Connecting with researchers to find a solution to the Thailand Water project

[Anu Devi, Projects]

Over the past month, Science for Humanity has been connecting with researchers in the area of water science to get involved with our Thailand Water project. We have been looking for scientists who can help our Project Leader (Pao) to conduct analysis of the water samples to determine the chlorine and E. Coli content in order to understand the current water contamination situation better as well as to use this information to make informed decisions about water treatment options that will be suitable for the villagers.

Science for Humanity has linked the Pao with various researchers from the University of Mahidol in Thailand and from Italy who have provided their advice and pointed us to other researchers who can contribute their skills and knowledge to this case. To date, Dr. Voranuch Wangsupachart, Dr. Prapin Tharnpoophasiam and Dr. Mentore Vaccari have taken an interest in the Thailand Project along with Miss. Marianela Araya-Quesada who has been involved in this project from its launch. In the following months, Pao will be speaking with these researchers to help them understand the major water issues experienced by the villagers in Tha Mai Ruak as well as to determine if these researchers can identify potential solutions.
