Ep. 32 - Marsha, Mimi, and Kim

This episode is all about water! We are joined by Marsha Allen from Geosciences and Mimi Alkattan from Civil and Environmental Engineering. Marsha explains her work studying storage and movement of water in the fractured bedrock of the island of Tobago, in order to plan for sustainable water pumping that considers future impacts from climate change. Mimi describes her work studying drinking water quality. Many places in the world with limited water supplies only deliver water to residents at certain times, but the water systems are designed for continuous flow-- she looks into the impacts of these intermittent water supplies on water quality. Local comedian Kim DeShields (aka Boney) joins as co-host.
