Water Equity Science Shop (WESS)

WESS is a community-academic partnership that conducts research and multi-level public health actions to address the health risks associated with drinking water contamination among California residents in rural, agricultural, and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities that are served by small drinking water systems and private wells that fall outside the purview of drinking water regulations and monitoring requirements. This project is part of UC Berkeley’s Superfund Research Program.
