The Reality.
Human society has made huge strides forward over the generations. With that
progress has come an understanding that practices of the past have impaired our
environment. Soil and groundwater compromised by industrial and other chemical
wastes are no longer productive environmental or economic assets.
Our Mission.
The mission of the Center for Contaminant Hydrology (CCH) is twofold. First, to
develop
and bring to the market cost-effective means of returning those
environmental resources to productive use. Second, to educate future leaders in
the field of environmental engineering so that they will have the tools they
will need to address future environmental challenges.
Our Approach.
We are focused on solving the real life problems facing property owners and
practitioners in the field of Environmental Engineering. We do this by
partnering with leaders in these areas to identify and define those problems
and by conducting innovative research to address these problems in ways that
are both technically AND economically feasible. We then work closely with our
partners to move that research from a lab novelty to a mainstream field
approach.
