Three graduate students with the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative have received prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships to work on decentralized water and wastewater systems. Their funding helps to leverage state support. Each graduate researcher is addressing different aspects of decentralized water and wastewater systems in Arizona, particularly related to colonias, rural communities north of the US-Mexico border that often face water and wastewater infrastructure challenges. Learn more about Claire Cropper, working with Paul Westerhoff, and Anahi Yerman and Dylan Diaz-Infante, both working with Amber Wutich.
