The University of Michigan has received a $1.6-million award from the U.S. Department of Energy for water infrastructure efficiency projects.
UM’s money is part of $27.5 million going to 16 water infrastructure projects at organizations in 13 states, according to a news release. The projects have the potential to reduce carbon emissions and water treatment costs while improving water quality and equity of distribution nationwide, officials said.
