Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi I'm Cristina. I grew up in Florida, which is a peninsula surrounded by water. Now I go to Stanford and study water. This past summer I spend working at Palo Alto's sewage treatment plant, and now I'm ready to share all the exciting things I've learned about the water cycle with anyone who will listen.

E674: Blue Gold: Making Water Drinkable in Splash! Spring 2010 (Apr. 17 - 18, 2010)
We drink, shower, cook, and clean with water from our taps every day, but the water coming from the tap wasn’t always that pristine. Learn about the engineering processes that make water clean and build your own water filter! This is a more advanced introduction to water quality intended for high-school students to find out how water is purified before it reaches the tap.


E575: Blue Gold: Making Water Drinkable in Splash! Fall 2009 (Oct. 10 - 11, 2009)
We drink, shower, cook, and clean with water from our taps every day, but this water usually doesn't start out so clean. Learn about how engineering deals with challenges in cleaning up water and even get a chance to build your own water filter! This is a more advanced introduction to water quality intended for high-school students to find out how water is purified before it reaches the tap.
