What is the N4WPP Water Symposium?
Thank you for participating in our third N4WPP Water Challenge. N4WPP is the Navajo Tech - New Mexico Tech - Navajo Nation Water Purification Project. Navajo Technical University (NTU) and New Mexico Tech (NMT) have partnered to bring education and research opportunities for NTU and NMT students in a project with a long term goal of providing clean drinking water to the Navajo Nation. This partnership also strives to bring STEM projects to high school students to foster the growth of the next generation of hydrologists, water resource and civil engineers, and community planners and leaders. If you are interested in learning more about the N4WPP research project, please see our website (https://www.nmt.edu/restore/).
