I work in the water treatment industry. The major energy user in water treatment plants is the pumping units required to maintain the hydraulic gradient through the system. It looks like this project is an effort to reduce that energy consumption. I'm proud to be participating in this effort.

Hello. Not that helping the poorer nations isn't enough of a reason to want to help, I was just curious. Will this project benefit 1st world nations like the US as well? Thank you.

Yup, it would. We'd never have to worry about water shortage problems (like my area gets sometimes), because this technology would make desalinization much easier. It would also get rid of our water pollution concerns.

hey folks, i am relatively new here, just started running BOINC and C4CW for about 2 weeks now.

I got one question. Is every each task you get to work on sent out only one time or are more computers getting the same file to work on? Because as i can recall, at the SETI programm, they had sometimes so less tasks, they sent the same one out multiple times.....

I'm glad I got this programm working here and be a part in all of this.

Hello Soowoop,
We have too much to do for too many projects to ever send out old work. Some of our projects always verify results, some only verify a result occasionally as a test. You can find this out on a per-project basis. This week we have changed the BOINC server software, so we are rebuilding the history of which computers are considered reliable.
