UCLA Engineers Build Water Treatment System for Disadvantaged Communities

A UCLA team led by Yoram Cohen at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and Madelyn Glickfield of UCLA’s Institute of Environment built and operated an on-site system that delivers safe, affordable drinking water to three small communities near Salinas Valley, California. The project was supported by a $2.5 million grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board’s cleanup and abatement program.
