Photocatalytic Carbon Filters (116-046)
Harmful Algal Blooms, or HABs, occur in fresh water, especially in the presense of warm temperatures, sunlight, and excessive amounts of nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen. HABs produce toxic chemicals called cyanotoxins which affect people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds. These cyanotoxins can cause fatal illness in humans. HABs have...

Topographic Analysis for Improved Surface Water Management (115-101)
Extreme hydrological events have caused global crises in recent years. The ongoing drought in India has caused riots, water theft, and lethal fights over access to water. Domestically, the 2019 bomb cyclone in the Iowa region caused an estimated $3 billion in damage, mostly from flooding. Poor surface water management contributed significantly to these...
