EcoPartnership on water quality management and conservation in the U.S. and China

New York Institute of Technology, Peking University, Wuhan University, the International Society for Water Solutions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and an industrial partner HDR|HydroQual formed an EcoPartnership in 2013. The partners are jointly advancing innovative water quality models, real-time water monitoring tools and information systems, water scarcity and hydrologic simulations, and techniques for water management during hydraulic fracturing. These goals are being pursued through a combination of pilot demonstration projects, research on the next generation of technologies, and practical training and community outreach (through conferences and workshops). This comprehensive approach will help foster water quality, management, and conservation in China and the U.S.
