Dr. Yong Sang “Barry” Kim wrote an article, “Proposed alternative solutions for securing water resources from WERI”, for the Guam Daily Post in a recent Letter to the Editor. This publication was also highlighted in the UOG news, Big G Weekly.
The article outlines WERI efforts to address water security amid rising climate challenges. It emphasizes using seawater for toilet flushing, desalination, wastewater recycling, and rain catchment systems as potential solutions. WERI incorporates advanced technologies like machine learning to predict groundwater quality and improve water conservation. WERI’s projects, which are supported by local funding, reflects its role in driving environmental research and offering career opportunities for its students while contributing to Guam’s long-term water sustainability.
