Three graduate students from UB's environmental engineering program won first place in a student design contest sponsored by the Water Environment Federation in Chicago this September.The winning team was made up of Jean Balent, Samuela Franceschini and Howard Kellick, who worked together to consult on contaminants in water for Letchworth State Park in Castile, N.Y.Alan Rabideau, associate professor of civil, structural, and environmental engineering, who served as the project's faculty advisor, said the project was a marriage between classroom and real-world experience."The university was approached by Letchworth with a study required by New York State to determine if the water collected by systems at the park for transportation to reservoirs should be classified as ground water or surface water," said Rabideau.According to Rabideau, this issue arose because despite the fact that water collected at Letchworth is groundwater, which undergoes a natural filtration process, the water is collected in shallow pools susceptible to the same bacteria and other contaminates as surface water.The team made long-term and short-term recommendations to the park, and advised them as to how the park could negotiate with New York State to implement their suggestions, said Rabideau.Letchworth originally wanted the students to check for the presence of contaminates by visiting and examining the water on a frequent basis, which would be very time consuming and labor intensive, according to Rabideau.
