Abstract
Decentralized water/wastewater treatment technologies have emerged to reach a better and more sustainable society. Access to clean water for all is a major goal identified by the United Nations to be reached by 2030. How would this concept of decentralized treatments using electrochemical technologies impact the way of living in Latin American countries? This perspective aims to identify the water/wastewater challenges in these regions, and the possible opportunities to overcome them by using decentralized electrochemical water treatment technologies.
期刊介绍:
Water Security aims to publish papers that contribute to a better understanding of the economic, social, biophysical, technological, and institutional influencers of current and future global water security. At the same time the journal intends to stimulate debate, backed by science, with strong interdisciplinary connections. The goal is to publish concise and timely reviews and synthesis articles about research covering the following elements of water security: -Shortage- Flooding- Governance- Health and Sanitation
