Behind the Faucet - What Impacts Your Drinking Water Quality?

ASU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Molecular Sciences present a Dean of Science Public Lecture, “Behind the Faucet: What impacts your drinking water quality?”

Join us as we explore where our water comes from and what journey it takes to get to our tap – from rivers through treatment to the faucet. As we grapple with the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, we seek to determine how decisions based on science, not politics, can prevent future water contamination and crises across the country.

What’s the quality of our drinking water? And how can cities and water suppliers keep our water safe?

This lecture will feature a short presentation on what impacts drinking water quality, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session with local experts.
