TEWAII

Tewaii focuses on water: one of the world's most valuable resources. Fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce, especially in decentralized regions, such as islands. This is the very reason that Tewaii is currently conducting research in Curacao and the Maldives. Surrounded by the ocean, the islands' groundwater is prone to saline intrusion. Add leaking sanitation systems, tourism, sea level rise and you can imagine how the balance of their natural water cycle is disrupted. Tewaii believes that with the right knowlege we can all contribute to a water resilient future... In the Indian Ocean, team Tewaii will join hands with Resilient Island, an initiative that is implementing a hydroponic greenhouse in the Maldives. A Maldivian greenhouse can generate several benefits, but its complex location makes sustainable water provision challenging. In project Valhu, team Tewaii is engaged in both analyzing the water resources and designing the greenhouse's water cycle... Tewaii researches..
