2nd Annual Water Tower Competition hosted by AWWA Water Equation

Sponsored by M.E. Simpson, The Water Tower, SUEZ, and Carollo

Students and Young Professionals were offered the concept of building a model water tower from materials found around the home or office. They were judged on functionality, originality and sustainability.

While most participants created a video, WE volunteers from the Pacific Northwest Section of AWWA set up a room with materials for those who wanted to create a tower at the WQTC conference.

Below is a photo of the model tower built by students at WQTC as well as submitted videos.
