Did you know wastewater could be used to provide electricity to 158 million households?

#ANUExpert @BotanicGeek is developing ways to harvest useful minerals and metals from liquid waste.

Think your indoor pot plants have it tough? Biologists at the @ourANU are embarking on their toughest assignment yet - growing plants on the moon. But it's not for nothing... https://t.co/uTAss8bTc4

Thank you @CEAT_Hub @ourANU @CSIRO & our team for supporting this opportunity to advance technologies designed to enable more sustainable management of critical nutrient & water resources! We hope to contribute to securing economical & eco-friendly access to resources for growers

[Caitlin Byrt @BotanicGeek]

Growing Australian agriculture to a $100 billion industry by 2030 involves securing supplies of water & essential plant nutrient resources. Recovering nutrients from wastewater so that they can be reused has potential to support economical & sustainable resource management 🌾💧🌏

We found an algal aquaporin that can function as a water and ion channel, so these channels are in algae as well as higher plants & animals, could it be possible that all types of organisms find having one of these types of channel useful? https://t.co/i8WXBw3pLx @Sam_McGaughey
