BYU engineers give back in Dominican Republic with hydro-informatics systems

<p>Students and faculty met with Dominican Republic leaders at the&nbsp;Center for Emergency Operations, where they learned how their&nbsp;work can benefit the lives of Dominicans through improved water management.</p>

<p>Students used velocity meters to measure stream discharge into a river, one of many tasks that helps contribute to&nbsp;research for better water management.</p>

<p>Students and faculty visited the&nbsp;Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Temple as one of numerous&nbsp;cultural&nbsp;trip experiences.</p>

Since 2011, Dr. Jim Nelson of BYU’s Civil and Environmental Engineering department has taken more than 150 BYU Civil Engineering students to the Dominican Republic to develop and implement hydro-informatics systems to improve water management.

BYU students’ work improves Dominicans' capabilities to make better water management decisions to grow food and be more resilient during times of flooding or drought.
