Nick Fang, the Robert S. Gooch Endowed Professor in Civil Engineering and founding director of WERC, emphasizes the need to plan for a future with sustainable water management.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington's Water Engineering Research Center (WERC) are working to address these challenges.
