Transforming Coastal Water: The India-H2O Initiative's Breakthrough
The India-H2O project aims to address water scarcity in coastal regions through innovative desalination technology. The EU-funded initiative successfully completed its pilot in Gujarat, providing safe and affordable water. The project, led by Aston University and partners, focuses on scaling up to benefit more coastal communities in India and beyond.

The India-H2O team has devised a groundbreaking solution to purify saltwater, making it both safe and affordable for communities. Funded by the EU, the project aims to expand its reach across coastal India.
A consortium of partners, including Aston University, has celebrated a significant milestone in easing water challenges for coastal villages in India and other emerging economies by completing a pilot desalination project in Gujarat.
This project utilizes advanced desalination technology to address water scarcity by removing salt from water. The innovative approach not only ensures clean drinking water but also promotes long-term sustainability through energy-efficient practices, renewable energy, and job creation in communities.
