Last week, our research group participated in this year’s Imperial Fringe, a series of public events exploring the unexpected side of science. The event is based on Imperial’s ground-breaking research, and is comprised of public evening events to engage with and build Festival audiences throughout the year via innovative public programming.
We took this opportunity to demonstrate one of the key areas of our research: water reuse or recycling. Our group decided to promote awareness by having attendees of Imperial Fringe to taste the difference and to see if they can discern between the three water types: tap water, bottled water and reclaimed/recycled water.
