Wizards of Water

Engineering faculty at two UA water centers are among the world's wizards of water who are helping communities handle acute water challenges and plan for the future. Featured UA segments, "Mopping up the Purest Water," about test facilities at the SRC/Sematech Engineering Research Center, and "Tucson Spins Sewage into Gold," on work at the WET Center Water Village, present state-of-the-art research in semiconductor production and water reuse. Co-produced by IEEE Spectrum magazine and the NSF Directorate for Engineering, you can view the UA segments and read more about the Engineers of the New Millenium:World Water Challenge, special report, at:
