Arizona lawmakers to invest in water reuse research for semiconductor manufacturing
Members of Arizona’s congressional delegation on Monday announced a $2 million investment into water reuse research for semiconductor manufacturing. The federal funding will go to Arizona State University to “develop, test, and demonstrate innovative water reuse technologies.” The announcement comes from Democratic Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, along with Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari and Congressman Greg Stanton. The project will test out various water treatment technologies at ASU’s MacroTechnology Works facility in Tempe. Researchers will measure each technology’s water savings, cost reductions and any operational benefits. The data can inform what works best for water conservation.
