A growing need to prevent water scarcity already threatening many communities around the world, including in the United States, has spurred researchers to focus on developing solutions to current water shortages and preventing their proliferation into severe crises. One such endeavor is decribed in a recent research paper co-authored by Claire Cropper, a graduate research associate in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and Lee Voth-Gaeddert, a research professor in ASU’s Biodesign Institute. Their work is noted in this article about development of a 3D-printing device developed to help overcome water insecurity. More about their endeavors is detailed in an earlier ASU News article.
