AguaClara exists to provide low cost water treatment solutions for communities throughout the world. The team is currently implementing municipal scale water treatment plants in Honduras and India with a primary focus on technologies that are low cost, gravity powered, and constructed from only locally sourced materials.

AguaClara technologies are designed at Cornell University, and then constructed by our NGO implementation partners in Honduras and India.

Technology is transferred directly from the open sourced AguaClara design server and then it is constructed by implementation partners in the field. Our implementation partner provides training for plant operators, and also provides WASH awareness training to the community. AguaClara technologies are governed by a local water board who takes on all day to day operations of the plant.

AguaClara is an engineering project team at Cornell University governed by faculty, and a team of 60 undergraduate, and graduate students. AguaClara LLC is the business development side of the AguaClara project and is a certified B Corp company. Water treatment plants are then built by our implementation partners (Agua Para el Pueblo-Honduras and Pradan-India). These plants are then governed by local water boards in the community.
