A UNBC research group a is hosting a a panel discussion on providing water and sanitation in small communities.
It's set for May 25 at the Wood Innovation and Design Centre in Prince George, 5:30 p.m. start.
A panel of experts will explore the implementation of off-grid technologies in northern B.C. and answer questions from the audience about the different options available.
“Water is the essence of life and holds the key to our collective well-being,” says UNBC Engineering Assistant Professor Dr. Flor Yunuen Garcia Becerra. “It is our shared responsibility to ensure that clean, safe, and sustainable water sources are accessible to all.”
Conventional centralized water and sanitation systems may work well in larger centres but are not fully viable in many communities in northern B.C. Off-grid systems, also known as decentralized systems, are designed to manage smaller amounts of water and waste, focusing on local needs while fostering circular management of precious resources.
“By embracing decentralized technologies, we can create a synergy between centralized and decentralized approaches, harnessing the complementary abilities of both,” Garcia Becerra says.
