George Madhavan

I turn water from your toilet into drinking water

The rapidly increasing population of Singapore is forcing the city-state to come to terms with a growing need for clean water.In the 1970s, George Madhavan and his team of engineers developed a novel wastewater treatment process that works even for sewage! The huge water treatment plant in Singapore is now held up as a model worldwide, and many recent initiatives taken inspiration from it.
