Along with the challenges of maintaining adequate water supplies, Arizona also faces concerns about ensuring water quality and effective conservation. Treavor Boyer, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, is among the experts whose work focuses on the technologies, planning and processes of developing, managing and monitoring the systems that help maintain and deliver water that is safe for human use. Boyer explains that adequately treating water from a variety of sources requires effective implementation of multiple types of intricate processes, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration followed by disinfection.
