We are happy to announce the successful installation of a solar-powered high-recovery (80%) water purification system at Lodhwa village, Junagadh District, Gujarat, showing our commitment to sustainability. This is a true outcome of a Research Project under the India H2O project - supported by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, and the European Union Commission under the Horizon 2020 scheme. The 20% rejected water from the purification process is now nurturing Salicornia, a plant rich in vital minerals, vitamins (A, B1, B15, C), potassium, calcium, beta-carotene, and iodine. This endeavor provides clean water and contributes to the local ecosystem and nutrition. Kudos to the entire team led by Prof. Anurag Mudgal and Dr. Jatin Patel, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Technology, PDEU
