Fresh water, which makes up just 3% of Earth's total, is so scarce that expanding access to it is one of engineering's Grand Challenges for the 21st century. Engineers are reinventing the toilet to help billions who lack adequate sanitation and monitoring waterways to keep U.S. taps flowing. Your hydrologists will dive into this month's activity marking World Water Day (March 22) and National Fix-A-Leak Week (March 18-24). Towels optional!
