Sourish’s research on using coffee and tea as low-cost water filtration options for rural populations helped him become a winner at the event and advance to present at the national competition that will be held virtually from April 15-17, according to the press release.

Sourish has been researching low-cost water filtration options since his sophomore year in high school after becoming aware of the problem during a family trip to India.

For the last two years, the young man has been researching potential solutions through food by-products as a filtration agent to solve the problem using materials commonly found in the areas most in need, according to the press release.

Sourish has used his findings to start a nonprofit organization called Jasti Clean Water Initiative to bring clean water solutions to schools in India. For more information, visit www.jcwi.org

All of Sourish’s research was conducted in Dr. Josephine Blaha’s honors advanced research class at Holmdel High School, according to the press release.
