Concerns about access to clean, potable water are projected to rise with the ever-drying climate and increase in global population.
Green Infrastructure
During my fellowship at the SFPUC, I learned about the different pillars of the agency: water, power, and sewer.

Understanding the Nitrogen Cycle and Using Design Thinking to Reduce the "Dead Zone"
My mentor, Negin Ashoori, PhD, from the Luthy Group in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department at Stanford University, researches the removal of pollutants from stormwater passed through different media, such as wood-chips, sand, and biochar, identifying the various types of bacteria t

Inquiry-based project on the removal of nitrate contaminant from synthetic stormwater
This lesson is constructed to help students see the importance of physical, chemical and biological attributes in the removal of contaminants from the environment. Students will design, construct and run experiments on the filtration of a known pollutant, nitrate, from water.
Got Stormwater? Nitrate Removal from Stormwater Runoff (Lesson 2)
Re-inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt), in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford, studies stormwater collection. In the water unit in Environmental Science, we study water resources and water pollution.
