Marquette University has received a second two-year, $3.8 million U.S. Department of Defense grant for an ongoing interdisciplinary program titled “In Defense of Water” to develop novel, sustainable technologies to protect human health and the environment, treat sewage, and provide clean drinking water and a framework for emergency response to water contamination.
The first award for “Novel Technologies to Mitigate Water Contamination for Resilient Infrastructure,” was awarded in late 2021 and expanded upon the water technology development researchers at Marquette have been doing for decades to help provide clean drinking water and protect the environment.
“This new award expands the scope and reach of Marquette’s water research community,” said Dr. Jeanne Hossenlopp, vice president for research and innovation. “This second installment in the ‘In Defense of Water’ program will support a cross-campus interdisciplinary team of faculty and students, in partnership with researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, to address critical water infrastructure and community risk and resiliency issues of importance to both military and civilian populations.”
