Making a quantum leap in groundwater mapping
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, CSMC is showing how space technology could change the game here on Earth. As humans begin colonizing space, they’re going to need water. That’s why the Canadian Space Mining Corporation (CSMC) is developing ways to find and extract it as efficiently as possible. “We don’t have the luxury in space of drilling holes, taking measurements and hoping that a stick in the ground is going to tell us how [...]
Ontario Water Consortium And National Partners Submit Statement of Interest for Groundbreaking Water Innovation Network
The Ontario Water Consortium (OWC), in strategic alliance with Foresight Canada and AquaAction, is delighted to announce the submission of a Statement of Interest (SOI) to a prestigious National Innovation Ecosystems Fund. The SOI outlines our ambitious proposal for the establishment of a groundbreaking Water Innovation Network, aimed at transforming the water technology sector in Canada and driving sustainable economic growth. The proposed network aims to address the mounting global demand for innovative water solutions while simultaneously advancing Canada's climate [...]
Making industrial wastewater less wasteful
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Thetis Environmental is leveling up their membrane solutions for industrial wastewater treatment. Just about every industry produces wastewater. But what’s in that effluent — and how concentrated the pollutants are — varies wildly between sectors. For Hamilton-based Thetis Environmental, that creates the opportunity to carve out a successful specialty treating high-strength wastewater. Since launching in 2014, the small but growing company manufactures ultrafiltration membranes designed to efficiently remove high [...]
