Brownie Day
KU’s Student Chapter of the Water Environment Federation and the American Water Works Association (A.W.E.) assisted in the inaugural "Brownie Day" at KU's School of Engineering. Over 30 young girl scouts earned their “Wonders of Water” badge by participating in activities and touring labs focused on water and the environment. Dr. Sturm and her students led the troops in a demonstration of how bacteria purify wastewater and how chemical coagulation can be used to remove algae and organics during water treatment.
