Role in the project
The School of Materials, Energy, Water and Environmental Sciences (MEWES) - Department of Water Environmental Sciences and Engineering (WESE) has in charge the following tasks:
- Developing innovative water defluoridation technologies (WP3)
- providing leading roles towards the achievements of the experimentation and optimization of bone char filter and the experimentation of local inorganic and organic materials, coordinated and experimented at the NM-AIST and UOE.
- to identify, characterize and test local materials (including geological, organic and waste materials) from the study areas in Tanzania as potential fluoride removers
- participate in the geological, geophysical, geochemical, hydro geological characterization and assessment of test areas selected in Tanzania as well as the hydrogeological features along the East Rift Valley System in order to identify fluoride pollution sources and design a plan to an effective monitoring network (task 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) WP1
- participation to the design and implementation of the Web-GeoDB system (Task 4.1) and mobile application (Task 4.2) WP4
- support for Remote Sensing classification algorithms related and crowd-generating data activities (Tasks 4.3 and 4.4 ) WP4
- participation in activities geared at providing capacity building and a widespread and successful dissemination of technical and scientific knowledge being acquired within the Project at different levels, from local to international researchers and end-users (Task 6.3) WP6
- participation in the development of the technical dissemination strategy and tools and deployment of dissemination campaign in order to improve local and scientific knowledge (Task 6.1, 6.3) WP6
- participation in the deployment of the scientific dissemination also through co-authoring scientific papers in international peer-review journals (Task 6.2) WP6
