Healthy Waters Initiative

The Healthy Waters Initiative (HWI) was established in 2020 by the Applied Research and Engineering team at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. The motivation is to conduct research that increases our understanding of the anthropogenic influences on Minnesota’s aquatic resources and find solutions to real-word, practical problems, with the goal to help protect, preserve, and improve our prized lakes and streams.

The HWI program is structured to focus on a single research topic for several years, with the goal of completing research and publishing data and results needed by stakeholder communities. When the team has sufficiently researched a topic, a new topic will be identified.
