Let's learn about Water Engineering! Water engineers are needed to supply drinkable water to the many people and uses throughout the world.< Water engineers are responsible for collecting water from: the ground, wells, streams or other water sources. They then treat the water to remove organisms that could make people sick or spread disease. After the water is safe, the water engineers transport the water to us, the user.  I became an engineer because ..... I like problem solving and math.  As a middle school student, I was interested in school classes as well as activities outside the school. I began learning French while in middle school, which became useful later in my life because I lived in Europe for awhile. I also became a volunteer at a local hospital, which was very rewarding!  Jodi Villa Water Engineer Meurer & Associates, Inc. Denver, Colorado
