Professor Speaks at Leading Water Congress

On September 23, Professor Mark Shannon shared his vision for "Water Science Technologies for Sustainable Water Supply and Purification in the Coming Decades" at one of the world's leading water research congresses.

The 2008 Congress for the Centre for Sustainable Water Technology (Wetsus), held in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, brought university and industry leaders together to discuss such water-related issues as desalination, membrane bioreactors, algae control, energy and sensing, monitoring and control. Shannon, who directs the National Science Foundation-funded Center of Advanced Materials for Purification of Water with Systems, was the guest plenary speaker.
