Groundwater contamination, especially in resource-limited areas, demands sustainable and affordable water treatment solutions. Membrane-based separation technologies, such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, offer efficient removal of inorganic pollutants, providing accessible clean water. Advancing these technologies can ensure safe drinking water while promoting environmental sustainability in underserved regions.
