    (2020-11-04) Diez Lecumberry, Agustin; Mackinnon, Andrés
    Abstract : Although is not a new that the people need clean water to live nowadays there are still people around the world who do not have access to this vital element. Reverse Osmosis is a process to purify water by using a membrane and pressure. This method is not expensive and its installation is simple due to the fact that the purification plant is smaller compared to other plants of this kind. Argentina is a large country that has different climates and regions. For this reason, there are areas, such as the North, where the access to clean water is difficult because of the remote location of these places or because they lack economic resources to improve infrastructure. This paper introduces reverse osmosis as one possible method to provide clean water to the north of Argentina.
