University of Alabama and Partners Work to Solve Sewage Crisis in State’s Black Belt

By Associated Engineering Press

The University of Alabama (UA) has partnered with the University of South Alabama, Auburn University, Columbia University in New York, the University of North Carolina and the University of California-Irvine to develop a new hybrid wastewater system to finally address this long-standing problem. The project aims to demonstrate that a clustered, decentralized wastewater treatment system can yield health, economic, and environmental benefits for rural communities.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
