Wilo Foundation - Vishwakarma University
In a mission of making the world a better place to live in by our unique and innovative efforts
ABOUT WATER QUALITY CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE:
Wilo Foundation-Vishwakarma University promotes research in water treatment, purification and create the much-needed social awareness about clean drinking water through its Water Quality Centre of Excellence. The centre has been established with the help of grant from Wilo Foundation, Germany This innovative centre was inaugurated on 14th June 2018 by Prof. Dr. Hans Jorg Bullinger, Chairman Board of Trustees , Wilo Foundation.
The centre is a step towards fulfilling the motto of carrying out transformational research at Vishwakarma University. According to a report by World Resources Institute, as many as 54 per cent of India faces high to extremely high water stress. Moreover, the quality of water is very bad resulting in health hazards. It is thus imperative to provide drinking water in its cleanest form and In this perspective, Water Quality Centre of Excellence promotes the worldrenowned technology of purifying water which can be availed at lower cost. Presently, the cost of purifying water is very high. Moreover, during the purifying process, water can lose its drinking quality. Centre not only aims for providing the technological inventions but also to create awareness and develop sensitization towards the most important nonrenewable natural resource ‘water’ amongst the society.
