Georgia\nTech Research Institute (GTRI) is working to address the lack of access to\nclean water by evaluating emergency water treatment systems. The systems being\nevaluated would be deployed in international disaster relief situations and\nremote areas in developing countries. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe current floods in Pakistan and\nrural low-income communities in mountainous villages in Cameroon are just a few\nexamples of areas where these systems could be deployed. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe are looking for up\nto 5 students to join us for three half-days at our GTRI cobb county field\nsite, that has surface water access, for a great opportunity to learn more\nabout assembling and running one of these water treatment devices.

As researchers, we\nwant to expose students to these new technologies that are being utilized\nglobally, and also evaluate how easy these systems are to set up for and\noperate for smart Georgia Tech students! \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is a non-paid opportunity, but a\ngreat learning experience, especially if you are interested in a career in\nwater!
