Abstract

A tall glass of water? That can be a tall order in remote or island communities or in post-disaster situations. The Waves to Water Prize challenges competitors to solve the desalination riddle.

In the fourth stage of the prize, the CREATE Stage, competitors will submit their prototypes or proofs of concept for wave-powered desalination systems, vying for a shared prize pool of $500,000 and the chance to move on to the final stage of the Waves to Water Prize: DRINK.

Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), the five-stage, $3.3-million contest aims to accelerate innovation in small, modular, wave-powered desalination systems capable of producing clean water in disaster recovery scenarios, as well as water-scarce coastal and island locations.

Through this prize, WPTO hopes to coalesce the water technology community, marine renewable energy industry, and the many experts and stakeholders working to address water security challenges in remote or island communities and in disaster response.
