This semester, students at the University of Iowa will be channeling their research and spending time working on an innovative drinking water project in Central America. Under the direction of Dr. Craig Just, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, students are hard at work designing the hardware and software for a “smart” water chlorination system. EOS is working in more than 800 rural communities throughout Nicaragua and technician visits are expensive since drive times can be as long as eight hours. EOS expects the smart chlorinators to save significant time and resources and to increase system “uptime.”
