CWEA held it’s 2nd Annual Student Design Competition on May 4th at the Orange County Sanitation District. A panel of distinguished CWEA members served as judges and three teams from California universities gave their best pitch for engineering designs. The judges were assembled by WEF Past President Jim Clark from Black & Veatch. The Santa Ana River Basin Section handled local logistics.
San Diego State University was selected as the team to represent California for their project titled: “Salton Sea: Bioremediation of CA’s Largest Lake.”
Team members include: Ehrick Costello; Michelle Laurendine; John Ritchey; Sean Monazah Youssefi; and Professor Dr. Christine Dykstra, SDSU.
