Colorado State University researchers are beginning work on a four-year, $3-million project funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve water quality assessments and address environmental problems related to water resources. Project results will help environmental and conservation officials to map species' habitats, measure biological diversity and monitor water chemistry.
"We rely on clean water for nearly everything we do, so taking care of water resources is critical for humanity," said Scott Urquhart, project director and senior research scientist at Colorado State. "An important step in ensuring clean water is obtaining accurate water-quality measurements."
