Innovative Wetland Treatment System in PA

Recognizing the value of clean water resources, the Freshwater Institute works with government, industry, nonprofits and individuals to shape sustainable, environmentally responsible solutions to water resource management.

 

Utilitizing a variety of approaches, our work can be categorized into three broad areas:

 

    • Applied Science- finding answers through the spirit of research, experimentation, and discovery.
    • Conservation Engineering-applying engineering and conservation principles to implement practical solutions.
    • Training and Education-sharing knowledge with present generations so that they may leave a positive legacy for those in the future.
