An invention by Mechanical Engineering graduate Bradley Pierik (MechE 0T9) that brings clean water to the developing world is profiled in today’s The Globe & Mail.

Pierik invented a hand-held device that purifies unfiltered water by pressing it through a fibre membrane. The product is now sold through his company, Twothirds Water Inc., and is focused on providing drinkable water in developing nations.
