The Water Institute Spotlights are recurring feature stories to illuminate the impact of water research by the Water Institute and its community. The Water Institute Ambassadors collaborate with the Water Institute in developing a monthly series, the Student Hydro Highlight, that focuses on a student’s academic path, research projects, and real-world water challenges they are addressing. Other Water Institute Spotlights showcase the interdisciplinary research and work conducted by our affiliate faculty, and other spotlights highlight the Water Institute’s projects, programs, or partnerships addressing critical water challenges in Florida and beyond.
