Advancing the science of emerging water treatment processes / hybrids enabling sustainable and energy-efficient utilization of impaired water sources for potable and non-potable water supplies.
Welcome
The Advanced Water Technology Center (AQWATEC) was established in 2006 at Colorado School of Mines. AQWATEC is supporting the advancement of the campus thrust areas of water and renewable energy and the NSF-funded Engineering Research Center Reinventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt).
Mission
Advance the science of emerging water treatment processes/hybrids enabling sustainable and energy-efficient utilization of impaired water sources for potable and non-potable water supplies.
