Learn about solutions to water scarcity

How can technology help us face the growing challenges of water scarcity and climate change? Discover the answer at the Waterlab Open Day! 

The UT Waterlab is a unique living laboratory where researchers develop and test sustainable water technologies. On this special afternoon, the lab opens its doors to students and staff for a hands-on look at how the UT is working on this challenge.  

Show up to make your own membrane and learn more about solutions like the WaterMiracle, a modular ultrafiltration system that turns rainwater into clean irrigation water! On top of this, you can even meet researchers and industry partners and maybe even find a graduation topic or internship!  

Whether you’re curious about climate innovation or looking to make real impact in your future career, you should visit the Waterlab and stick around for some drinks afterwards! We will be waiting for you.
