What’s at stake? Up to $1 million in cash prizes, plus the overall potential to help people in dire need of drinking water by eventually introducing wave-powered, compact pumps and desalination devices to remote or storm-damaged areas.

This DRINK stage is the culmination of the Waves to Water Prize competition, a five-stage, $3.3 million contest. It aims to accelerate innovation in small, modular, wave-powered desalination technology capable of producing clean water in disaster and recovery scenarios, as well as in water-scarce coastal and island locations.
