Welcome to Season 2 of Civil Conversations! Today, we chat with Dr. Katie Indarawis, a research professor in Environmental Engineering at UF focusing on water treatment. In addition to her exciting research in alternative treatment systems and reverse osmosis, she also developed the Intro to Sustainable Engineering course and incorporates sustainability in her work. In this episode, we get a broad outlook on traditional water treatment, and then take a dive into current innovations and research in alternative treatments. Then, we discuss sustainability as applied to engineering and the importance of Life Cycle Assessments, or LCAs.

Tune in for an informative and inspiring episode about the role engineers have in sustainability, our water systems, and adapting to changing climate.
