Petra focused on key impacts of energy consumption to treat and to heat water for hygiene and domestic use in impoverished countries. Her findings are based on her extensive experience and knowledge in helping people living off grid in poor countries to have access to clean and hot water. \u00a0More than 300,000 people in 20 different countries and refugee camps have benefited from the Solvatten jerry cans. Petra has been witnessing their impact worldwide in some of the most deprived rural and urban areas of the world.\u00a0<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4975\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/solvatten\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/petra-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Petra Wadstr\u00f6m, inventor and \u00a0founder of Solvatten at the Nobel Week Dialogue, Water Matters.

Wangchuk presented the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/icestupa.org\/\">Ice Stupa Project<\/a>. Wangchuk builds seasonal artificial glaciers\u00a0 by producing ice and snow in winter.\u00a0 when these structures melt water is available to farmers when they most need it it, at the beginning of the agricultural season in early spring.\u00a0<\/p><h3>The Link of\u00a0<strong>Energy and Water<\/strong><\/h3><p>What to do when one in nine people lack access to improved water and nearly<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/newsroom\/news\/2018\/october\/population-without-access-to-electricity-falls-below-1-billion.html\">\u00a0one billion people<\/a>\u00a0worldwide, in 2018, according to the International Energy Agency, do not have access to the electricity grid? \u00a0<\/p><p>Lack of alternative energy sources and financial barriers are some of the key obstacles to realise the Sixth Sustainable Development Goal, Clean water and sanitation for all, (UN SDG# 6) .\u00a0<\/p><p>Gary White is CEO and co-founder of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/water.org\/\">water.org<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/waterequity.org\/\">WaterEquity<\/a>, which are dedicated to empowering people in the developing world gain access to safe water and sanitation.\u00a0<\/p><p>White participated in the panel discussion \u2018Don\u2019t Talk, Act\u2019, focused on activism. He discussed with panellists\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sipri.org\/about\/bios\/ambassador-jan-eliasson\">Jan Eliasson, Ambassador and Chair of the Governing Board, SIPRI<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.icanw.org\/beatrice-fihn\/\">Beatrice Fihn 2017 Nobel Peace Prize-winning campaign<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p><p>Evidence from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/water.org\/\">water.org<\/a>\u00a0and WaterEquity shows that most people who don\u2019t have access to clean water and electricity are spending a high part of their incomes to buy water for drinking and energy. \u201cIn India people are paying 125% of interests on loans to build their own toilets and many households spend up to 25% of their income to buy water from water vendors, on a regular basis\u201d, says Gary White. He met Petra Wadstr\u00f6m. They discussed how a partnership could help more families in impoverished countries have clean and hot water at home.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Great Minds on Water Challenges\u00a0<\/h3><p>Drilling holes, pumping water and treating it has an energy cost. The question lies in how to find energy sources to create infrastructure for sanitation and running water. Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2011, Dan Shechtman who teaches technological entrepreneurialships at universities, encouraged entrepreneurs to innovate energy solutions for off grid households where infrastructure is poor. He showed the inspiring example of a young Israeli woman who \u00a0brought solar panels to Africa to pump water from wells.\u00a0<\/p><p>Shechtman received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering quasicrystals, a crystal with five-fold symmetry that was thought to be impossible. Today Shechtman\u2019s research interests are focused on developing, studying and understanding the structure, mechanical properties and bio-corrosion of new magnesium alloys.<\/p><p>The Nobel laureate is a firm believer in the possibilities of desalinisation. \u00a0If more action is put into desalinisation international conflicts around water could be avoided. Nevertheless, desalinisation is still a highly energy consuming process, which requires energy solutions.\u00a0<\/p><p>Water is facing global challenges. Shechtman believes that the time has come to bring innovation and find solutions for water production. \u201cOur modern societies are based on how we took the leap from being hunter gatherers to farmers. This \u00a0happened more than ten thousand years ago. Up to date, we have just gathered water. We never replaced it. Now we have to master how to produce it. Desalination is one of the solutions. This would be the second revolution in our history but water pollution is still a challenge. By sharing knowledge and resources we can ensure water security and avoid international conflicts in the future\u201d, Shechtman says.<\/p><h3><strong>Water Footprint<\/strong><\/h3><p>Conservation of water and how to work with its cycle is one of the leading interests for scientists, policymakers and businesses. Sandra Postel is an author and founding director of the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalwaterpolicy.org\/\">\u00a0Global Water Policy Project.<\/a>\u00a0She works to bridge science, policy and practice to build a more water-secure world.

The performance lecture led by artist Marina Abramovic was one of the highlights of the Water Matters event. She presented the launch of a new app called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acuteart.com\/marina-abramovic-rising-app\/\">Rising<\/a>, letting users make active choices to take better care of the environment with daily actions.<\/p><p>The app allows viewers to see their daily water and energy footprint and view Abramovi\u0107 in Augmented Reality. She\u00a0 beckons from within a glass tank that is slowly filling with water from her waist to her neck. Abramovi\u0107 urges viewers to reconsider their impact on the world around them, asking them to choose whether or not to save her from drowning by pledging to support the environment, which lowers the water in the tank.<\/p><p>Rise is available for free on Google Play and App Store. Other free apps such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.evgenii.waterfootprint&amp;hl=en\">Water Footprint\u00a0<\/a>help to calculate our impact on water consumption.\u00a0<\/p><h3>For the Greatest Benefit of Humankind<\/h3><p>Sweden is a world-known place for innovation. Some Swedish innovators are finding energy solutions to save water or trees by using sunlight or \u00a0algae.\u00a0<\/p><p>Sunlight makes the \u00a0water safe and hot. This is what the Solvatten jerry can does. It uses the power of sunlight and the UV radiation to breakdown the DNA chains of microorganisms in unsafe water. \u00a0<\/p><p>Petra Wadstr\u00f6m, inventor and founder of Solvatten, explained the problems \u00a0resulting \u00a0of energy consumption to produce safe and hot water in impoverished countries. \u201cEnergy sources alternatives are key to ensure a sustainable livelihood for families living off grid\u201d, she said. Petra believes that access to safe water for drinking and hot water \u00a0for hygiene as well as clean energy are issues that need to be addressed together. Otherwise the problem won\u2019t be solved.<\/p><p>Algae has a great potential as an energy source. This is what another Swedish woman entrepreneur, Sofie Allert, highlighted in a panel discussion. Allert is the co-founder and CEO of Swedish Algae Factory. Allert founded\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/swedishalgaefactory.com\/\">Swedish Algae Factory<\/a>\u00a0to make use of a natural resource that can create sustainable value for society \u2013 algae.\u00a0Swedish Algae Factory have developed a circular economic business model around a group of algae called diatoms. The properties of the diatom are useful in several industries. This material can replace harmful or less efficient chemical substances. \u00a0<\/p><h3>Producing Water Without Energy<\/h3><p>Gravity is another option to save energy in high mountains such as the Himalayas. Sonam Wangchuk diverts water, in the Indian Himalayas, from upstreams above 3,500 metres to lower altitudes. The water is kept frozen through during the winter, near the villages. It melts in early spring when farmers most needed for sowing their crops.\u00a0<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4968\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/solvatten\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot-2018-12-13-at-16.23.54-1024x612.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Sonam Wangchuk with students from SECMOL on an Ice Stupa building site.<a href=\"http:\/\/icestupa.org\/\">\u00a0Photograph by Ice Stupa Project.<\/a>\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Wangchuk has won many awards worldwide for his invention, which saves and makes water accesible without use of energy.
