Check out the newly launched website for the University of Colorado based Design of Risk-reducing Innovative-implementable Small-system Knowledge (DeRISK) Center: www.colorado.edu/deriskcenter. This $4.1 million EPA-funded research center will run through mid 2017. The DeRISK Center is devoted to applying principles of risk-reduction, sustainability and new implementation approaches to innovative technologies that will reduce the risk associated with key contaminant groups and will increase the chance of adoption and sustainable use in small drinking water systems. The website includes the novel research by CU Environmental Engineering faculty Sherri Cook, Chris Corwin, Karl Linden, Fernando Rosario-Ortiz, Chad Seidel and Scott Summers and their graduate students, Leigh Gilmore, John Meyer, Elizabeth Schilling, and Nathan Yang. For this collaborative research, the DeRISK Center is partnered with the University of New Hampshire, Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP), Arizona State University, University of Alaska-Anchorage and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
