Research conducted by faculty in environmental and water resources engineering is geared toward understanding the fundamental physical, chemical and biological principles of engineered and natural systems. The research has a strong emphasis on practical applications as demonstrated by bench-scale experimentation, pilot- and field-scale demonstration projects, and computer modeling and simulations.
