About the Clean Water Institute
The Clean Water Institute is committed to an attainable goal. “It’s relatively easy to find water and treat water; the hard part is maintaining water treatment and making it sustainable. That’s what makes the multidisciplinary efforts of CWI so valuable,” says David Wunder, one of the founding members of the Clean Water Institute.
By supporting projects, research, and learning dedicated to real, lasting solutions for water safety, CWI is not only addressing individual situations, but generating a steady stream of competent, inspired young people to address the problem. Drawing on students and ideas from all different disciplines – engineering, public health, global development, social work – the institute works for transformation not just in the communities we serve, but in the students and faculty involved as well.
