SOUTHFIELD – A new water runoff control system in a parking lot at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield is among the water quality improvement projects that will be showcased at the White House Water Summit Tuesday, March 22.
LTU professor Donald Carpenter received word of the project’s inclusion in the Water Summit on Wednesday.
“This honor reflects the excellent collaborative research taking place at Lawrence Tech’s Great Lakes Stormwater Management Institute, and the innovative technologies of our industry partners,” said Carpenter, who is director of the institute.
The Water Summit is intended to raise awareness of priority water issues and potential solutions in the United States, and to help build a sustainable and secure water future through innovative science and technology. LTU’s system is one of several technologies from the public, private, academic and nonprofit sectors that will be demonstrated at the event.
