Request for Water Quality Field-Testing Equipment
A message from an EDC alumnus:
As a 2016 M.S. graduate of the EDC Certificate program in Environmental Engineering, I now have the opportunity to put theory into practice working with a small environmental justice non-profit in Oruro, Bolivia called the Center for Ecology and Andean Peoples (CEPA,
cepaoruro.org).
I am reaching out to the EDC community for support to acquire water quality field equipment for CEPA, including suggestions of funding opportunities and/or donations of used equipment, to strengthen this work.
Read more here.
Thank you!
