The system consists of tanks of fiber membranes that catch and hold contaminants—dirt, organic particles, bacteria, and viruses—while letting water filter through

Low-cost device has the potential to provide developing countries with clean water

The research team took a close look at a 2012-2013 drought and flood cycle that affected much of the Midwestern U.S., leading to a nitrogen spike in surface water

Engineers have developed a new way to model and track where lead particles might be transported during the partial-replacement process of lead pipes, in an effort to keep the water supply safer
