The average American household uses over 300 gallons of water per day, yet several emerging engineering challenges hamper many Americans’ access to clean water. These challenges include population growth, climate change and crumbling infrastructure. In order to ensure that everyone has access to clean water, engineers need to find sustainable solutions to these problems.
