This grant is for the continuation of critical long-term environmental testing aimed at improving concentrate management. Specifically, it supports ongoing research near Tucson, Arizona, which investigates sustainable methods for treating highly concentrated waste streams. The project utilizes an innovative approach combining halophyte irrigation – using salt-tolerant plants to manage saline water – with advanced water purification technologies: slow-sand filtration (SSF) and reverse osmosis (RO). This integrated system seeks to develop effective, environmentally sound solutions for managing by-products of desalination or industrial processes, ultimately contributing to water resource sustainability and minimizing environmental impact in arid regions. The award signifies a commitment to advancing practical, scalable concentrate management strategies.
