My name is Naama Lahav, a pupil at \”Dror Educational Campus\” High School in central Israel, where I studied chemistry. I participated in Tel Aviv University\’s program for gifted students. I was given several subjects to research, and I chose water purification because I\’ve heard about Stockholm Junior Water Prize, but eventually I have fallen in love with the subject itself, and I\’m seriously considering studying it in the future.

Optimization of a Water Purification System Based on Manganese Oxide-Coated Activated Carbon by MnO2@AC Nano-Catalyst Formation for Water Decontamination Based on Sulfate Radical-Derived Degradation
n 2026, global water scarcity has been on the rise with regions such as Northern Africa and India have been experiencing a critical water deficit. This paper seeks to provide a feasible and sustainable solution to global water scarcity by developing a Hybrid AWG, which combines the benefits of solar energy and micro wind turbine technology to provide a constant 24h cycle of clean water production. This is achieved using a dualmode condensation architecture utilising compressor driven condensation technology and active electrostatic precipitation mechanism to extract water from the air, followed by a rigorous filtration and mineralization process. The results of our research have revealed that in tropical regions such as India and dry regions such as Northern Africa, the…
