Water

Secure and affordable water supplies are the building blocks for economic growth and competitiveness. The Applied Research Center has expertise, instrumentation, dedicated laboratories, and pilot-scale facilities to tackle multidisciplinary problems in water treatment and purification processes, energy-efficient  water cleanup, surface water and groundwater pollution characterization, hydrology and hydrogeology, contaminant fate and transport, and sampling and analysis.

The Applied Research Center (ARC) provides design and analysis of water infrastructure systems, including: water supply, wastewater treatment, effluent disposal and reuse systems
