Doctor of Philosophy in Smart Management of Water Systems for Sustainability

In light of the need to manage water systems in ways that are resilient to climate change, feasible given the current state of aging infrastructure, and responsive to a legacy of pollution, the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) is engaged in building an international knowledge base to facilitate the design of sustainable water infrastructures. We use a systems based approach “from source to city to receiving water body” which emphasizes methods appropriate for regions with plentiful water supply. The work requires interactions among scientists, engineers, water managers, and decision makers to connect science and decision making for urgent water policy issues.
