About Us

The University of Utah student chapters of the Water Environmental Federation (WEF) and the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) have combined forces and formed a single club. Both clubs are highly concerned with the quality of water both above and below ground. Membership in the club is open to all registered students of the University of Utah. While the majority of the membership is occupied by students from the Civil and Environmental Engineering department, outreach is being conducted to include students from all colleges on campus. The main purpose of the club is to research, discuss and share ideas in the field of water resources and water quality.

The club is active in participating in and planning various activities throughout the year. Several informative seminars are planned and conducted per semester. Speakers are chosen to represent interesting and important topics dealing with water resources and water quality. The club is also active in organizing and supporting GREEN service projects. Members of the club also participate in State level AWRA and WEF activities, along with hosting an end of the semester party every spring and fall.
