Water issues there have escalated into a dire situation that demands immediate attention. The groundwater we count on to supply America’s rural residents is facing a critical risk of overextraction and contamination

Michigan State University is committed to finding solutions to modern problems that jeopardize the availability of clean, safe water for natural ecosystems and for human uses, including drinking, agriculture and so much more.

The Isley family of Lenawee County and Michigan State University are working together to improve the water quality and reduce toxic algae in the Lenawee County area.

Municipal water systems must remove “forever chemicals” from their tap water under a new rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency meant to prevent deaths and serious illnesses linked to the substances.

Joan Rose, Jo Latimore, and Amber Pearson discuss the Water Alliance’s vision, mission, and objectives along with some of the challenges and opportunities ahead for the world’s water.

Michigan State University has harnessed its vast water research expertise to create the MSU Water Alliance. This will be a bridging organization among existing water science units on campus and among faculty with water expertise to address multiple challenges.

MSU has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, to better understand the amount of pathogens and disinfection byproducts in drinking water distribution systems and to assess associated health risks.

MSU is looking to address global water issues by developing a graduate training program to create a highly competent workforce with the broad technological, scientific and cultural skills needed to resolve current and future water challenges.

Newly published research from Michigan State University scientists demonstrates how regionally specific machine learning-based modeling more effectively monitors levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) chemicals in Michigan drinking water compared to nationwide models.

Younsuk Dong, an Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist at the MSU Department of Biosystem and Agricultural Engineering, has created a system that will improve irrigation and plant disease management

MSU researchers are identifying policy changes that need to happen now to prepare for the future impacts projected by climate models. The rapid melting of glaciers and snowpack due to regional temperature increases has caused an unprecedented decline in water availability. This creates cascading impacts on water, food and energy security.

These alpine insects face a dire future, but MSU researchers are helping make sure we learn the valuable lessons they can still share.
