Peri-urban settlements usually lack water infrastructure and have inadequate fecal sludge management, and while onsite sanitation alternatives have been implemented in the past, adoption rates remain low and water-based solutions tend to fail in water-scarce regions. The use of dry toilets can mitigate some of the water limitations, but onsite treatment remains a challenge. By […]

Many organizations which conduct oceanographic research, such as CSIRO, make use of electronic sensors for monitoring ocean conditions. At present, these sensors are powered by batteries, but this causes their deployment time to be limited by battery life. This limitation could potentially be overcome by harvesting energy from the environments surrounding the sensors. One such source
