Ensuring the local availability of clean water through graduate student research and learning in Parana and Texas

Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, in partnership with the University of North Texas and with the support of the Water and Sanitation Company of the State of Parana (SANEPAR) in Brazil and the City of Denton’s Texas Water and Wastewater treatment plants, will implement a unique graduate study abroad program that will focus on addressing a problem of critical importance for Brazil and the U.S. Through the program, students will learn the environmental impacts of ammonia in water supply sources, its effects on the water treatment process, and the availability of water for human consumption.
