The aim of the link is to develop a transatlantic community of internationally connected STREAM and ReNUWIt graduates and scientists who will be well equipped to meet the demands of the global water industry in the 21st Century.
The link started in October 2013 and runs for three years. Students and staff from the ReNUWIt programme will participate in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Stream Challenge Weeks.
Stream Research Engineers wishing to apply for funding to visit the USA will find an application form on the Stream-ER part of this website.

STREAM is the Industrial Doctoral Centre (IDC) for the Water Sector funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and companies who sponsor research projects.
The STREAM programme has trained 10 cohorts of talented researchers, who have developed their skills and careers, while obtaining an EngD or PhD degree. In total, 97 researchers have benefitted from participating in the programme whilst achieving their doctorate at five UK academic centres of excellence in water science and engineering.
Many of the projects have had impact on the investments and practices of their sponsors. The research has covered all a wide range of topics, including; drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, distribution systems, catchment management, and decentralised water services. Projects have covered all stages of research, from conception up to full-scale testing and implementation.
