Healthy Urban Waters (HUW) is a program at Wayne State University that promotes and delivers research, education, technology development and public engagement on water resources in the urban environment.
About UWERG
We are a multidisciplinary environmental research group that focuses on research, education and information related to urban freshwater sciences.
Our multidisciplinary team of faculty, researchers and staff solves complex water-related problems through collaboration on public health, water use, technological innovation and public policy. Partners include governmental agencies, industry, and community groups. We work on projects on pollution monitoring and impacts, invasive species, watershed-related public policies, dams, sediments, drinking and recreational water, ecosystem health, and waterborne diseases. This research group generates scholarly activity, educates college and graduate level students, informs and engages K-12 students and the general public, interacts with watershed stakeholders, and exemplifies leadership of watershed research and management in the urban environment.
Vision & Mission
Our vision for healthy and sustainable urban waters is achieved through research, education, technology transfer, and collaborative initiatives that promote and enhance water quality, human health and freshwater ecosystems. We energize researchers, students, policymakers, funders, industrial and community partners as well as cross-border collaborators to participate in initiatives that promote and enhance healthy urban waters.
