Rice WaTER Institute to develop accessible clean water technology
Rice has launched the Water Technologies Entrepreneurship and Research (WaTER) Institute to address complex water-related challenges around the globe. “Clean water can save more lives than doctors,” said Pedro J. Alvarez, WaTER’s director and the George R. Brown Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Its researchers will predict and prevent diseases by monitoring wastewater; decrease the amount of energy used to treat water in large municipal water systems; predict water-related natural disasters; extract high-value metals with high energy efficiency and low water consumption, and more.
