UTSA research confirms fecal bacteria contaminated surface water after Hurricane Harvey

(University of Texas at San Antonio) Research by a civil and environmental engineering professor at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has substantiated that Hurricane Harvey caused high levels of fecal contamination to be introduced into waterways draining into the Gulf of Mexico and impairing surface water quality. UTSA faculty member Vikram Kapoor hopes his research will help lead to the development of a predictive framework to assess wastewater contamination following severe flooding.
