Solar Disinfection
This network has shown increased networking amongst researchers working in higher education institutes. A number of enquiries have been channelled through the network from UNICEF in the Indian sub-continent, the National Research Council of Sri Lanka, and Latin America. Particular interest has been expressed about photo-voltaic powered water disinfection systems, and a number of papers have been recently published on the subject.

Solar Distillation
This network has achieved widespread information exchange between researchers and those agencies applying technology in the field. Activities of note include collaboration between Brace Research Institute and Universidad de Salta, Argentina to install solar stills at a technical school in Chaco; work on modelling the performance of solar stills to improve performance; and testing / adapting construction materials for solar stills. Most enquiries to the network are derived from technical staff working for NGO's. A newsletter is planned for the network in late 1995.
