(MI) Holland Sentinel – It’s been almost five years since Robert McDonald, a retired engineer, set out to develop a cheap, effective water filtration and disinfection system. The technology had to be simple, require no power, have no moving parts and be made with available local materials by local people all over the world.
McDonald, president and co-director of Aqua Clara International, a Holland nonprofit organization, will speak at the first event in the Michigan State University Bioeconomy Institute’s 2010 speaker series, Experts Exchange: Opportunities in Bio-Innovation, 4 p.m. Wednesday at the MSU Bioeconomy Institute, 242 Howard Ave. More
