Water Reuse

Richard G. Luthy is the Silas H. Palmer Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He was the Director of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Re-inventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt), a four-university consortium that seeks more sustainable solutions to urban water challenges in the arid west.

A hydrologist and water resources specialist, Freyberg studies reservoir sedimentation and hydrology; surface water-ground water interactions, especially in reservoir/sediment systems; collaborative governance of trans-national water resources; and the design, scaling, and spatial structure of recycled water systems.
