Today on Wavelength, we are sharing a part of a workshop from the IUVA World Congress in Dubai this past September. The IUVA’s UN SDG Task Force held a workshop on improving the sustainability of UV disinfection systems in low resource settings. As a part of the workshop, Karlye Wong (University of Toronto, UN SDG Task Force) sat down with Dr. Sara Marks (EAWAG) to discuss some of the systemic challenges to achieving more widespread global access to safe drinking water, and key considerations for the adoption of relatively new water technologies like UV disinfection. Dr. Marks is a professor and group leader of the Water Supply and Treatment group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG). She is a world leading researcher in the evaluation of new water technologies and is an advisor to the World Health Organization on small water systems.
