How a kitchen experiment became a solution for the global water crisis
In short: Deepika Kurup began her journey to solve a global crisis in her own family kitchen. This video explores how her early observations in India led to a major science prize and a scalable way to purify water.
Driven by the sight of children drinking contaminated water near her grandparents' home in India, Kurup began researching water purification at age 14. Her work focused on creating a method that was both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. This journey from a domestic kitchen to a major science prize highlights the power of accessible, eco-friendly innovation in addressing fundamental human needs.
